CTkToolTip

Install the CTkToolTip package using pip to add tooltip functionality to your customtkinter applications.

pip install CTkToolTip

To create a basic tooltip, instantiate the CTkToolTip class by passing the target customtkinter widget and a message string. The tooltip will appear when the user hovers over the widget.

CTkToolTip(widget, message="Your Message")

You can create interactive tooltips that update dynamically. For example, you can link a CTkSlider to a tooltip to display its current value by calling .configure(message=...) on the tooltip instance within the slider's command callback.

import customtkinter
from CTkToolTip import *

def show_value(value):
    tooltip_1.configure(message=int(value))
    
def show_text():
    print(tooltip_2.get())

root = customtkinter.CTk()

slider = customtkinter.CTkSlider(root, from_=0, to=100, command=show_value)
slider.pack(fill="both", padx=20, pady=20)

tooltip_1 = CTkToolTip(slider, message="50")

button = customtkinter.CTkButton(root, command=show_text)
button.pack(fill="both", padx=20, pady=20)

tooltip_2 = CTkToolTip(button, delay=0.5, message="This is a CTkButton!")

root.mainloop()

The CTkToolTip instance provides several methods to control its state and content:

• .configure(message, arguments...): Update the tooltip text or other parameters dynamically.
• .get(): Retrieve the current text of the tooltip.
• .hide(): Disable the tooltip from appearing.
• .show(): Re-enable the tooltip.
• .is_disabled(): Check if the tooltip is currently disabled.
