[pygtk] Newbie: Idea to impelement an hovering widget following my mouse.

[Laurent Dufrechou]

Hello,

 

I've got TreeView and one of vertical column show me log informations.

Currently these logs are displayed as one line log.

 

 



 

 

I would like to implement a widget that when hovering over a specific widget
of the TreeView , I would like to popup a white rectangle attached to the
mouse and displaying the full log (multi line log (let say I could limit to
5 lines)).

 

Is it possible, what should it implies?

 

I've found this for mouse hovering coordinate:

But I got no idea how to impelemnt a "popup" widget that will draw itself
over the tree widget.

 

Any idea?

 

Laurent
