[MACTCL] Tooltip window

[Alastair D. <ala...@si...>]

Hi Michael,

Apologies for jumping into this thread with an only tangentially related
question, but could I ask what style it is that works for tooltips?  In
other words, one that is undecorated and doesn't steal the focus.

Many thanks,
Alastair

2. It might also be nice (if possible and without too much hassle) to fix 
the combobox popup focus issue on Aqua.  Jeff Hobbs seemed to think (I 
think you were there on the chat) it should be possible with one of the 
tk::unsupported::MacWindowStyle settings, although I poked at it a bit and 
I'm not sure it is.

There is a style that works for tooltips/balloon help which has the same 
visual style needed (no decorations at all), but if I use that it doesn't 
respond to mouse clicks in the popup.  There are others that do, but the 
combinations I've tested so far have decorations of some sort (even if 
it's only a thin title bar on the top or side with no buttons on it) or 
have the same focus-taking issue as overrideredirect.
