OK, it was 4 in the morning when I wrote this, let me try to be a bit more coherent.
I have created an extended version of the TextInput class that does data validation, etc. When my code determines that there is invalid data, I create an errorString. This will of course cause the error tooltip to display on mouse over. I would like to extend this by also displaying the tooltip when the field has focus. Does anybody know what the mechanism is that causes the tooltip to appear and disappear? Or a way of accessing the tooltip's properties so that I can make it visible and invisible when I need?
