It's important to make a distinction between setting a Tooltip and setting the text to be used for a tooltip. While it's possible to set per-window tooltips (i.e. the tip window, not the text), this is generally not needed and is highly advanced. So...

Basically, you set the tooltip type window to use system wide. For example:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::System::getSingleton().setDefaultToolTip( "TaharezLook/Tooltip" );

Then you just set the string you want for each window via either Window::setTooltipText or via the Tooltip property. For example, in code:

Code: Select all

myButton->setTooltipText("This button will cause the self-destruct!");
