GtkTipsQuery
|
|

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
|

displays help about widgets in the user interface.

<para>
|
|
The #GtkTipsQuery widget is a subclass of #GtkLabel which is used to display
|
|
help about widgets in a user interface.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A query is started with a call to gtk_tips_query_start_query(), usually
|
|
when some kind of 'Help' button is pressed. The #GtkTipsQuery then grabs all
|
|
events, stopping the user interface from functioning normally.
|
|
Then as the user moves the mouse over the widgets, the #GtkTipsQuery displays
|
|
each widget's tooltip text.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
By connecting to the "widget-entered" or "widget-selected" signals, it is
|
|
possible to customize the #GtkTipsQuery to perform other actions when widgets
|
|
are entered or selected. For example, a help browser could be opened with
|
|
documentation on the widget selected.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
At some point a call to gtk_tips_query_stop_query() must be made in order to
|
|
stop the query and return the interface to its normal state.
|
|
The gtk_tips_query_set_caller() function can be used to specify a widget
|
|
which the user can select to stop the query (often the same button used to
|
|
start the query).
|
|
