Request : CTkTooltip & CTkScrollbar about customtkinter HOT 20 OPEN

yes I agree a tooltip widget would be nice
maybe using combination of simple label widget and a triangle

from customtkinter.

I don't think its possible to create a custom tooltip because it must be separate window without any borders or headers and for round corners you would need a transparent window. Because tooltips can leak over the edge of a window.

But a scrollbar should be possible.

from customtkinter.

Well that can easily be solved using a pseudo root with directoverflow true, but I am not sure about the rounded corners

from customtkinter.

it can be done via Toplevel then make it transparent with wm_attribute -transparentcolor and adding ctk_frame in it. and a label.
and since canvas background is "white" by default transcolor could be "white"

from customtkinter.

Except for the shadow part. Which I think could be done but is a little difficult

from customtkinter.

TinUI has created scrollbar. May provide a reference.
TinUI - GitHub | TinUI.py in function add_scorllbar
readme

right side is a scrollbar drawn in tkinter.Canvas.

tooltip also, but it is not nice enough.

CTkScrollbar is now available: https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter/wiki/CTkScrollbar
(with version 4.5.0)

from customtkinter.

I've used for one project of mine ttk Tooltip: https://ttkwidgets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/frames/Tooltip.html

from customtkinter.

@TomSchimansky does the CTkScrollbar also work with frame? Or just textboxes?

from customtkinter.

It works like a normal tkinter scrollbar, I don't now if a frame is scrollable in tkinter. You can us it for every widget that accepts a yscrollcommand/xscrollcommand.

from customtkinter.

Used the CTkScrollbar in my recent Project. It is a nice feature. I am still looking forward to CTkTooltip.

I want to use tooltips in my app, but if I use the default ones, they will look terrible. I was so hoping for CTkTooltip to be released soon.

Regarding tooltip: In the meantime i use Hoovertip() from idlelib.tooltip module, and it looks ok

import tkinter
import customtkinter
from idlelib.tooltip import Hovertip


customtkinter.set_appearance_mode("System")
customtkinter.set_default_color_theme("blue")

app = customtkinter.CTk()  
app.geometry("400x240")

def button_function():
    print("button pressed")

button = customtkinter.CTkButton(master=app, text="Button with Tootip", command=button_function)
button.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor=tkinter.CENTER)

buttonquittip=Hovertip(button,"""
    
    i'm the button tooltip!
    another line

    """)

app.mainloop()

This definitely Looks Interesting. Thanks for this info. @bountycortez

Here my impression (Windows 10, Python 3.11)

The style of the tooltip doesn't fit well (and it's not a native Windows style either).

Also, the tooltip window is always placed below the mouse pointer on a fixed horizontal coordinate; this causes problems when the window is displayed at the left, right or bottom edge, as the tooltip may then be (partially) obscured.

Are these issues maybe only observable on Windows? @bountycortez @Manobal-Singh-Bagady

from customtkinter.

@Wolf-SO I have only tried the tooltip from tkinter tix library, which has the same issues as you mentioned. I use windows 11 only, so I don't know about the other operating systems. I think @bountycortez might know this.

That's the issue, @bountycortez. That's why I was requesting CTkTooltip because tix is deprecated and doesn't work anymore.

from customtkinter.

Given what Tom said about the tooltip not being possible, maybe close this issue. (The scrollbar has been implemented).

There is a workaround for the tooltip at Akascape/CTkToolTip.

Maybe ask the author to create a PR to merge it with customtkinter.

@TomSchimansky - Close as stale (old), not planned (50% not possible), or planned (50% implemented)?
