Sorry, no. I have only used the wxWindow function SetToolTip("Some string tip")

I assume that you would call the wxWindow function
SetToolTip(wxToolTip* tip) and that function would attach the tip to
the window so that wxToolTip::GetWindow() would work.

John, I posted that earlier reply to your reply via Gmane because I was still not getting any emails from the list, Gmane (and similar archives sites) is my only way to see, or respond, to the list, and I think Gmail was the main culprit judging by losses and delays of other stuff. I'm not sure if you saw my response. (It basically said thanks for the for loop to traverse a table of user data objects (very useful test flag I since added to my collection), and ended with a longish query about Windows' apparent delayed clearup of large image loads, with a query about whether wxLua, like Paint Shop, can be set to somehow allow any number of such loads without the image failing to render after just one or two attempts).

I don't have a problem with GMail, I was however away from my computer
for the weekend so I couldn't respond.
