Custom tooltip window

wxPython Users
1

Hi,

is it possible to create (or has someone already done that) a custom
tooltip window which can be positioned freely and which has the special
properties of a tooltip (at least on Windows) that it

- doesn't take the focus from the currently focused window

- sends mouse events to the underlying window as if the tooltip doesn't
exist

I'm using currently using wxPython 2.6.2.1, but this can be changed if
necessary.

wx.PopupWindow will get you part of the way there, all except the mouse pass-through.
