hide-tooltip

Arguments: widget

This generic function is called internally to hide the tooltip of a control when the mouse has moved off of it. This function is not normally called by an application, but wrapper methods could be added to act when a tooltip is removed from a control. This may be useful, for example, to remove some other form of help that is displayed for a control.

Note that this generic function is called even if the show-tooltips configuration option has been turned off. This allows showing some custom form of help for a control without using tooltips, which may be handy if tooltips are considered more annoying than a status-bar message, for example.

See also show-tooltip.
