I have a "tooltip" class that is used like Lab = Label(Sub, text = "Temp:") Lab.pack() Tooltip(Lab, "The temperature of the reactor core")
When the mouse pointer is placed over the "Temp:" label the associated message pops up in a small window near the pointer. I want to use the same thing with a canvas item, but the "create_x" calls return an ID number not a widget 'handle' like Label() does. Is there a way to turn these IDs into widgets? I mean the ovals and rectangles are, technically, widgets already, aren't they? I don't think the tag_bind stuff will quite work (but I don't fully grasp the concept, except in cases where you want to do something like drag the items around on the canvas) since each item will have a different message, like, for example, each point on a graph will have a tooltip that reports what the temperature of that point was. The concept: Rec = can.create_rectangle(<small red rectangle>) Wig = (Then a miracle occurs) Tooltip(Wig, "1500C - She's gonna blow!!") Thanks!
