I have a UI item (text field) that displays a tooltip when the user hovers over it. However, the information to be displayed in the tooltip is dynamic and relatively expensive to compute. At the moment the tooltip is bound to a string property which I manually update twice a second. It seems that the right way to handle all this would be to compute the information only when I know the tooltip is about to display. However, googling and searching of headers has not led me to a way to do this. It seems that NSTextView has a method textView:willDisplayToolTip:forCharacterAtIndex: which would seem to offer the functionality I want. However, I can’t find anything equivalent for other view types.
Any suggestions on how I might supply tooltip text dynamically, when the tooltip is about to display?
