Tips and bubbles
In view of the fact that I’ve written about bubbles here and here, you might conclude that I find bubbles interesting. And it’s OK for you to conclude that; I won’t be offended.
Here’s an interesting tidbit about bubbles and tool tips: tool tips bubble down - sometimes. If you have a container with its toolTip property set to some value, and the container has a child with no value set for its toolTip property, then the child will show the container’s toolTip on mouse-over (why, I don’t know). However, this will not occur if the container is itself inside a navigation control (such as an Accordion or TabNavigator).
To see how this works, take a look at this sample. As usual, right-click on the app to view and download the source.
I don’t know why tool tips bubble this way, but it seems useful to know that they do.
