Problem You have displayed tooltips for items in a treeview in Part 2. However, the height of the header has to be hardcoded in order to know if the mouse is in the header or below the header.
This example shows you how we can achive the same effect without any hardcoding of the height of the header as shown below:
Solution If you do not activate sorting in the tree column, you will find that php-gtk does not respond to any mouse event in the header region.
Of course, this means that there won't be any sorting when the user clicks on the header.

Explanation The above example is based on How to display tooltips in GtkTreeView - Part 1?.
What's new here:
- Just comment this line out, and you will find that the signal
motion-notify-event will not be generated when the mouse is in the header region. This will allow you to get the correct readings for get_path_at_pos().
Note
- The problem of using this method is that there is no more sorting when you click on the header.
- However, if you would like to use this method, and you also want sorting, you can still "manually" implement sorting through top menu or right-mouse context-sensitive menu.
- You can also implement sorting using the technique as outlined in How to sort treeview using GtkTreeModelSort?
