    <summary>Add Tooltips to your widgets.</summary>
    <remarks>
      <para>Tooltips are the messages that appear next to a widget when the mouse pointer is held over it for a short amount of time.
				They are especially helpful for adding more verbose descriptions of things such as <see cref="T:Gtk.Button" /> in a toolbar.</para>
      <para>An individual tooltip belongs to a group of tooltips.
				A group is created by calling the constructor <see cref="C:Gtk.Tooltips()" />.
				Every tooltip in the group can then be turned off with <see cref="M:Gtk.Tooltips.Disable()" /> and on with <see cref="M:Gtk.Tooltips.Enable()" />.</para>
      <para>To assign a tip to a particular <see cref="T:Gtk.Widget" />, <see cref="M:Gtk.Tooltips.SetTip(Gtk.Widget,System.String,System.String)" /> is used.</para>
      <para>Note: Tooltips can only be set on widgets which have their own X window.
				To add a tooltip to a <see cref="T:Gtk.Widget" /> that does not have its own <see cref="T:Gtk.Window" />, place the widget inside a <see cref="T:Gtk.EventBox" /> and add a tooltip to that instead.</para>
      <para>The default appearance of all tooltips in a program is determined by the current Gtk theme that the user has selected.</para>

        <code lang="C#">
using Gtk;
 
class ToolTipsExample
{
        static void Main()
        {
 
                Application.Init();
 
                Window win = new Window("Tooltips");
                Button load_button, save_button;
                HBox hbox;
                Tooltips button_bar_tips;
    
                button_bar_tips = new Tooltips ();
    
                // Create the buttons and pack them into a Gtk.HBox
                hbox = new HBox (true, 2);
                win.Add(hbox);
 
                load_button = new Button ("Load a file");
                hbox.Add(load_button);
    
                save_button = new Button ("Save a file");
                hbox.Add(save_button);
    
                // Add the tips
                button_bar_tips.SetTip (load_button,
                        "Load a new document into this window",
                        "longer explanation");
                
		button_bar_tips.SetTip (save_button,
                        "Saves the current document to a file",
                        "longer explanation");
                
		win.ShowAll();
