removing a tooltip

I'm trying to remove a tooltip from a control. SetTooltip(None) and SetTooltipString(None) cause an error. SetTooltipString('') leaves the old one. Anyone know how to do this?

do this?

It may be a workaround to set the tooltip to ' ' which will,
at least, give you an "empty" tooltip.

Hi,

widgetXY.GetToolTip().Enable(False)

seems to work, supposing the tooltip is actually set for the widget,
otherwise a test would be needed
if widgetXY.GetToolTip():
    widgetXY.GetToolTip().Enable(False)

Looking at the code it seems that SetTooltip(None) should be working and is the right way to do it. What error do you get if you use this approach?

SetTooltipString(‘’) leaves the old one. Anyone know how to do this?

Sorry… SetTooltipString(None) causes an error. SetTooltipString(“”) and SetToolTip(None) leave the old tooltip attached (it was created using SetTooltipString)
