Help flag for widgets
in [TCL]

From: russty1971 on 10 May 2010 11:15 The lead programmer at the company where I work would like to have a - help flag for widgets that would allow the programmer to enter a help text that would pop up when the mouse hovers over the widget. Is there anyone else out there that would find this useful?

Here's a quick example: package require tooltip button .b1 -text "Button 1" pack .b1 tooltip::tooltip .b1 "Help for button 1" --> Shows "Help for button 1" when the mouse hovers over the button...
