Okay, I've used the following line to set the global tooltip widget:



But now I get empty tooltips popping up on everything that doesn't even have 'TooltipText' assigned. I also take it I have to do something to have the tooltip disappear after the mouse leaves the widget?

This happens when the underlying renderer does not do alpha blending (as is the case for Irrlicht). It's a bit of a bug and I'll fix it before 0.4.0 is released.

Okay, will I'm using OGRE, which I thought did support alpha blending. I did get around it by not defining a global tooltip and just created a tooltip object and then associated it with the widget I wanted, but is there a way to get it to follow the mouse and then disappear when the cursor leaves the widget?

Yeah, tooltips in Ogre should work fine - it's one of the platforms I test on regularly and I've noticed no strangeness. I assume you're correctly injecting time pulses?

To get the tooltip to follow the cursor within a window, you have to basically subscribe the EventMouseMove for the desired window(s), and then in the handler do something like this:



You'll need a recent CVS (v0-4 branch) version for this to work, as the positionSelf method has only recently been made public.
