Hi all. About RichTextCtrl i 'd put tooltip when mouse over url text.
I thought there was a SetToolTipString method in wx.richtext but there isn’t.

I googled but i do not found anything. Is it possible?

Attach a tooltip to the window.

But I want to associate the tooltip a particular text

of the window rather than the whole window:

self.rtc.BeginStyle(urlStyle)

self.rtc.BeginURL(“http://wxPython.org/”)

self.rtc.WriteText(“The wxPython Web Site”)

#i 'd put tooltip when mouse over “The wxPython Web Site” text above

self.rtc.SetToolTipString(‘Hello’) #??? it is associated at window

self.rtc.EndURL();

self.rtc.EndStyle();

Then I guess you will have to roll out your own approach, maybe using
the RichTextCtrl HitTest method inside a wx.EVT_MOTION event handler
to see where the mouse is and placing the appropriate tooltip.

The wx.TipWindow is one way that you can make your own tooltip-like feature.
