wxToolTip(3)

wxToolTip 💬✨

okay bestie, this is an Erlang module, and it's the lil guy that holds all the info about a tooltip that's attached to a window 👀 (peep wxWindow:setToolTip/2 if you wanna know how the window got one in the first place).

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

wxToolTip — this class holds information about a tooltip associated with a window (see wxWindow:setToolTip/2). no cap, that's literally the whole job 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the way this works is there are four static methods that let you change tooltip behaviour globally, like for the entire app, not just one lil window:

• enable/1
• setDelay/1
• wxToolTip::SetAutoPop() (not implemented in wx) 😭
• wxToolTip::SetReshow() (not implemented in wx) 😭

two of them are giving "announced but never showed up" energy, we move on.

also, if you want the official wxWidgets lore: wxWidgets docs: wxToolTip 🦋

---

🎀 DATA TYPES 🎀

• wxToolTip() :: wx:wx_object().

like yeah it's a wx_object, it's an object, that's the vibe 💜

---

👑 FUNCTIONS 👑

destroy(This :: wxToolTip()) -> ok.

Destroys the object. bye bestie, we hardly knew ye 🫶

enable(Flag) -> ok when Flag :: boolean().

Enable or disable tooltips globally 🌍✨ — one switch, whole app.

Note: May not be supported on all platforms (eg. wxCocoa). so like… don't come for me if it doesn't do anything there 🙈

getTip(This) -> unicode:charlist() when This :: wxToolTip().

Get the tooltip text. just hands you the string, no drama 🍓

getWindow(This) -> wxWindow:wxWindow() when This :: wxToolTip().

Get the associated window — the window this tooltip is literally attached to 💫

new(Tip) -> wxToolTip() when Tip :: unicode:chardata().

Constructor 🎂 new tooltip, who dis

setDelay(Msecs) -> ok when Msecs :: integer().

Set the delay after which the tooltip appears ⏳ — basically "how long do I have to hover before you show up, bestie?"

Note: May not be supported on all platforms. fr fr, platform-dependent, don't @ me 💀

setTip(This, Tip) -> ok when This :: wxToolTip(), Tip :: unicode:chardata().

Set the tooltip text 📝 — the glow-up but for words.

---

and that's the whole page, you ate it, iconic, periodt 💅🌈⭐
