Re: Tooltip hints on tabs

["Milosz Derezynski" <internalerror gmail com>]

set_tooltip_text() is 2.12 API, you're most likely using a Gtk+ 2.10 based gtkmm, so you have to use the GtkTooltips API instead, and add a GtkTooltips (yes with 's') to the HBox yourself, check here for reference:

ok I cannot get at this I've tried deriving a sub class of

Gtk::EventBox  but still I get the error that set_tooltip_text is
not a member of Gtk::EventBox so I don't know what to do :(
source code that does this would be most welcome now.
