IIRC, no — I don't think there is public API to make tooltips come up on demand. I had to do some unorthodox stuff to implement tooltips in the Mac version of Chrome a few years ago, which I did by copying WebKit's implementation, but this uses some internal AppKit methods. I wouldn't recommend you use them. (If you're really determined you could look it up in the WebKit sources, but I don't remember where the tooltip code is.) —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
