Follow-up Comment #1, bug #15603 (project freeciv): There's a tooltip API in Gtk+, GtkTooltip <http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkTooltip.html>, which has some integration with GtkTreeView <http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkTreeView.html> and would be fairly easy to implement that with.
However, GtkTooltip is only available from Gtk+ 2.12 (released 2007). Currently, Freeciv claims to only require Gtk+ 2.4.0 (released 2004), in configure and INSTALL. This might not be a sufficiently desirable feature on its own to force a dependency to 2.12. (What version of Gtk is used for the Windows builds?) There is another tooltip API in 2.4.0, GtkTooltips <http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkTooltips.html>, but it's deprecated and I suspect can't be used to implement this anyway. However, I've no idea whether Freeciv really can still build against 2.4.0 as claimed; it wouldn't surprise me if we've quietly started using newer features and no-one's noticed. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?15603> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
