Problem In Part 3, I've showed you how to display an image in a tooltip.
In this Part 4, we will display an image as well as a markup text in the tooltip as shown below:
Key method used: GtkTooltip::set_markup(), GtkTooltip::set_icon().
Solution
- We use the technique as outlined in Part 2 to display the markup text in a tooltip.
- To display the image, we use the method
GtkTooltip::set_icon().
Important Note: This only works for PHP-GTK v2.0 (or PHP-GTK2 compliled with gtk+ v2.12 and above. If you are using an older version, for linux, you may follow the step-by-step instructions to recompile php-gtk2 with gtk+ v2.12. For windows, please refer to How to install php gtk2 on windows?
Sample Code The following image files are required by the sample code below. Please save a copy of the image files and put them in the same directory where you store the sample code.
