Tkinter: tooltips (Windows)

[M-a-S]

How can I have tooltips for buttons of a toolbar
or for control items of a dialog?
Does such feature exist at all?

You can use the Pmw.Balloon widget to do this.

For Pmw (Python Mega Widgets), see: http://pmw.sourceforge.net/

John Grayson's book 'Python and Tkinter Programming' (see
http://www.manning.com/grayson/index.html) has some examples which use it.

The code in the book can be downloaded from
