Tooltip not working

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
Are tooltips working for you?
If I enter tooltiptext and generate the program, I find some tcl code or labels in my python code.
When trying to run the code, an error is generated.

Here is an example.

  51 
  52 def set ::vTcl::balloon::%W {This is a buttons}():
  53     print('EddysPageTest2_support.set ::vTcl::balloon::%W {This is a button}')
  54     sys.stdout.flush()

It's a bug; PAGE does not support balloon help. I have alway felt that that function wasn't as important as the other stuff I was looking at.
Look for a new version removing tooltip text from the attribute editor.
Thanks for reporting the problem,
Don

I have a small class that implements Tooltips outside of Page. I will post a link to it tomorrow ( 1/17/2019).

I got done earlier. An entire project can be found at my github page...

Greg, many thanks for sharing your code.
I will give it a try.

@Eddy, Please let me know how it goes for you.

Greg, your tooltip (and splash screen) code works like a charm.
And as simple to use as it gets.
Thanks a lot!
I tested, not from PAGE because your Main.py program already does that, but with a minimal Tkinter based program.
Kind regards
Eddy

from tkinter import *
from tooltip import ToolTip

def var_states():
   print("male: %d,\nfemale: %d" % (var1.get(), var2.get()))

master = Tk()

Label(master, text="Male/Female:").grid(row=0, sticky=W)

var1 = IntVar()
CB1 = Checkbutton(master, text="male", variable=var1)
CB1.grid(row=1, sticky=W)
ToolTip(CB1, msg='Male', follow=True, delay=0.1)

var2 = IntVar()
CB2 = Checkbutton(master, text="female", variable=var2)
CB2.grid(row=2, sticky=W)
ToolTip(CB2, msg='Female', follow=True, delay=0.1)

Butt1 = Button(master, text='Quit', command=master.destroy)
Butt1.grid(row=3, sticky=W, pady=4)
ToolTip(Butt1, msg='Click to exit program', follow=False, delay=0.1)

Butt2 = Button(master, text='Show', command=var_states)
Butt2.grid(row=4, sticky=W, pady=4)
ToolTip(Butt2, msg='Click to show values', follow=True, delay=0.1)

mainloop()

Glad it was of help!
