  • 0

When I use the standard Tix.Balloon widget, bind it to a button and use a balloonmsg, I get the tooltip over the button, but I also get a stupid looking arrow inside the tooltip. (See the demo code from the Python source tree here.) Is it possible to get rid of this arrow, or do I need to use another type of widget to get a normal looking tooltip?

    This will set the arrow image to a blank bitmap

    b = Tix.Balloon(root)
b.subwidget('label')['image'] = Tkinter.BitmapImage()

    There are two subwidgets within a balloon, label which is the arrow and message which is the text.

    I’m still new to python so there might be a better way to actually remove the arrow instead of just cover it up.

    I am using Python 3.2
