wxToolTip::wxToolTip ( const wxString tip)

Constructor.

Member Function Documentation

static void wxToolTip::Enable ( bool  flag)
static

Enable or disable tooltips globally.

Note
May not be supported on all platforms (eg. wxCocoa).
wxString wxToolTip::GetTip ( ) const

Get the tooltip text.

wxWindow* wxToolTip::GetWindow ( ) const

Get the associated window.

static void wxToolTip::SetAutoPop ( long  msecs)
static

Set the delay after which the tooltip disappears or how long a tooltip remains visible.

Note
May not be supported on all platforms (eg. wxCocoa, GTK).
static void wxToolTip::SetDelay ( long  msecs)
static

Set the delay after which the tooltip appears.

Note
May not be supported on all platforms.
static void wxToolTip::SetMaxWidth ( int  width)
static

Set tooltip maximal width in pixels.

By default, tooltips are wrapped at a suitably chosen width. You can pass -1 as width to disable wrapping them completely, 0 to restore the default behaviour or an arbitrary positive value to wrap them at the given width.

Notice that this function does not change the width of the tooltips created before calling it.

Note
Currently this function is wxMSW-only.
static void wxToolTip::SetReshow ( long  msecs)
static

Set the delay between subsequent tooltips to appear.

Note
May not be supported on all platforms (eg. wxCocoa, GTK).
void wxToolTip::SetTip ( const wxString tip)

Set the tooltip text.
