''[MGS] [[2004/02/09]]'' - I'm hoping to have some time soon to add a '-command' option. You might like to read the original announcement thread at: [http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=3FDD6E72.3090602%40yahoo.com&rnum=8&prev=/groups%3Fq%3DANN%2Btooltip%2Balpha%2Bgroup:comp.lang.tcl%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D3FDD6E72.3090602%2540yahoo.com%26rnum%3D8%26filter%3D0].

[LV] [tklib] now has a tooltip package, which provides tooltip management. Hopefully someone will add info or a pointer to info here.

----

http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/tooltip.html is the doc for the tklib's tooltip package.  Here's an example:
======
package require tooltip
pack [label .l -text "label text"]
tooltip::tooltip .l "This is a label widget.\nThis is a second line.\nThis is the third line of comments."
======
Run the above on a machine with tklib installed, then move your mouse cursor over the label widget.
