This signal will be + * emitted when a tooltip is supposed to be shown. One of the arguments passed + * to the signal handler is a GtkTooltip object. This is the object that we + * are about to display as a tooltip, and can be manipulated in your callback + * using functions like gtk_tooltip_set_icon(). There are functions for setting + * the tooltip's markup, setting an image from a stock icon, or even putting in + * a custom widget. + * </para> + * </listitem> + * <listitem> + * <para> + * Return %TRUE from your query-tooltip handler. This causes the tooltip to be + * show. If you return %FALSE, it will not be shown. + * </para> + * </listitem> + * </itemizedlist> + * + * In the probably rare case where you want to have even more control over the + * tooltip that is about to be shown, you can set your own #GtkWindow which + * will be used as tooltip window. This works as follows: + * <itemizedlist> + * <listitem> + * <para> + * Set #GtkWidget:has-tooltip and connect to #GtkWidget::query-tooltip as + * before. + * </para> + * </listitem> + * <listitem> + * <para> + * Use gtk_widget_set_tooltip_window() to set a #GtkWindow created by you as + * tooltip window. + * </para> + * </listitem> + * <listitem> + * <para> + * In the #GtkWidget::query-tooltip callback you can access your window using + * gtk_widget_get_tooltip_window() and manipulate as you wish. The semantics of + * the return value are exactly as before, return %TRUE to show the window, + * %FALSE to not show it. + * </para> + * </listitem> + * </itemizedlist> + */ + + #undef DEBUG_TOOLTIP |
