How do I display tooltips in Tkinter?
Tooltips are useful in applications where we need to display some information while hovering on a button.
In order to create and display a tooltip, we can use the Balloon property of tkinter.
Example
#Import the tkinter library
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.tix import *
#Create an instance of tkinter frame
win = Tk()
#Set the geometry
win.geometry("600x450")
#Create a tooltip
tip = Balloon(win)
#Create a Button widget
my_button=Button(win, text= "Hover Me")
my_button.pack(pady=20)
#Bind the tooltip with button
tip.bind_widget(my_button,balloonmsg="www.tutorialspoint.com")
win.mainloop()Output
The above code will display the following window with a button "Hover Me". When the user hovers over the button, it will show a tooltip text.
