Every tooltip in the group can then be turned off with and on with .To assign a tip to a particular , is used.Note: Tooltips can only be set on widgets which have their own X window.
To add a tooltip to a that does not have its own , place the widget inside a and add a tooltip to that instead.The default appearance of all tooltips in a program is determined by the current Gtk theme that the user has selected.
