How to make the Tooltip in a button

TZ20240722725

Hi, I hope to create a button using hiCreateButton that can display a small tooltip when the mouse moves over the button, showing the button's information in the tooltip. How should I do this?

thank you.

    Here you go

    (defun display_custom_form ()
      (let (button form)
        ;; Define button with tooltip
        (setq button
          (hiCreateButton
            ?name       'custom_button
            ?buttonText "Click Me"
            ?callback   (lambda (_button _form) (info "You clicked me!"))
            ));setq button
        (setf button->hiToolTip
          "This message is displayed when you hover the mouse over the button
    <p><font size='+1' color='red'>You can use HTML inside tooltips</font></p>
    <p>You could even display images</p>"
          )
        ;; Define form
        (setq form
          (hiCreateLayoutForm 'custom_form "Custom Form"
            (hiCreateFormLayout 'main_layout ?items (list
                button
                ));main_layout
            ));setq form
        ;; Display form
        (hiDisplayForm form)
        ));let ;def
    
    (display_custom_form)
