Extended Tool Tips



Hi Guys,

I've been instructed to implement tool tips for an app such that a longer, more descriptive tool tip is displayed when the command key is held down. Allegedly there was a way to do this in Carbon that was part of the Help Manager API, but is there a Cocoa alternative? I've had a look at the NSToolTipOwner protocol but I've been unable to find anything that indicates it would solve my problem. I was thinking the best way to do it might be to bind all my tool tips application-wide to an object that overrides -valueForKey: which checks the command key status, and returns the appropriate tool tip. Is there a better solution?

Thanks!
Loukas
