[Solved] Popup while crossing over button with cursor?

[Argolance]

Hello,
Title exactly tells what I am looking for : Is there any gtkdialog script that shows how to get a popup while crossing over a button with the mouse cursor ?
Thank you for your attention.
Regards.

Tooltips in gtkdialog are explained here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38608

Thank you !
For those who are interested in the reply (found in the very useful page linked above) :

Tooltips
>> Gtkdialog does support tooltips, even if it's not documented:
<button tooltip-text=" tooltips text ">......</button>

More : French language uses simple quotes, for example : l'Amour ! How could I insert simple quotes ['] in my tooltips without braking the code ?
Thank you !

Hmmm. Sit Heel Speak was asking how to escape apostrophes too... I suspect no one knows if it is possible, but have you asked in that thread?

Here is the solution :

Code: Select all

<button tooltip-text=" Message d '\''erreur ">......</button>

Note : After \, 2 apostrophes or simple quotes and not double quotes !
Regards.

Just came across this old post and thought others might find it useful to know that more details about quoting (including the above trick) are covered in the Advanced Bash User Guide here:

http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/quotingvar.html

Since even the escape character (\) gets a literal interpretation within single quotes, trying to enclose a single quote within single quotes will not yield the expected result.

echo "Why can't I write 's between single quotes"

echo

# The roundabout method.
echo 'Why can'\''t I write '"'"'s between single quotes'
# |-------| |----------| |-----------------------|
# Three single-quoted strings, with escaped and quoted single quotes between.
