Tooltips for widgets

[aaronsegura]

Hello!

Great project! I'm loving it so far.

Is there any way to add hover-over tooltips to widgets in the layouts I create, or is that something I have to do manually after importing the layout in my code?

Thanks

Hello Aaron thanks for trying pygubu. I'm glad that you liked it.

I still haven't decided how to incorporate the tooltips in the designer.
So, at the moment they have to be added manually in the code.
Pygubu comes with a basic tooltip implementation, which can be used in the following way in code:

import pygubu.widgets.simpletooltip as tooltip
# . . . 
button = builder.get_object("button1")
# add a tooltip
tooltip.create(button, "A tooltip for the button")
# . . . 

Or you can use your preferred implementation.
I also want tool-tips in the designer, so this is going to the wishlist.

Regards
Alejandro A.
