How do you add a tool-tip to a NSTabViewItem? I tried the following, but
that didn't work right.
[[tabViewItem view] setToolTip:toolTip];
//Where tabViewItem is of type NSTabViewItem* and toolTip is of type
NSString*

[tabViewItem view] returns the content view of the tab (i.e, what gets displayed when the tab is selected), not a view representing the tab itself.

Tab view items don't support attributed labels, so I suspect there isn't any easy way of accomplishing this task. If you really need it, you can probably subclass NSTabView and do something awful with mouse- moved events and/or tracking rects. However, given as how there aren't any other applications out there where NSTabViews have tooltips, I wouldn't sweat it.
