[CAPI] Tooltips on button panels

  Hello,

can someone explain to me how to put tooltips on choices in button
panels (checkboxes, radio buttons etc.). The panels are created
declaratively, as in:

(define-interface foo ()
    (...)
  (:panes
   ...
   (panel check-button-panel
     :layout-class 'column-layout
     :title "Options" :title-position :frame
     :items '((:this t) (:that t))
     :print-function (lambda (item) (keyword-capitalize (car item)))
     ...)))

Thanks!

Re: [CAPI] Tooltips on button panels

I'm not aware of a CAPI option for this. I used the method below on the Mac.

John DeSoi, Ph.D.



(defun %set-tooltip (ui-menu-item tip)
  (let ((ref (capi-internals:representation ui-menu-item)))
    (when ref
      (objc:invoke ref "setToolTip:" (if (stringp tip) tip ""))))

  Thank you. In the meantime, I found a simple solution, which is to set
  up a global help callback on the whole interface. There is in fact a
  complete example in capi/elements/help.lisp.
