How to display tooltip on buttons using GtkTooltip - Part 4 - tooltip with markup text and image?


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?
