Tooltips on individual segmented cells

Hi folks,

does anyone know the easiest way to give individual segmented cells their own tooltips? In IB I can only set a tooltip for the entire segmented control.

Without wishing to cast aspersions, it seems a bit inconsistent that I can set individual tooltips for individual radio buttons in a group but that I can't do this for segmented cells, either via IB or programmatically, when it also seems to me that segmented cells are functionally similar to radio button groups (i.e. pick from these options).

I'm guessing subclassing NSSegmentedControl / ...Cell are the best way, with each cell storing its own tooltip string, and the control's mouse tracking figuring out which cell's tooltip to display? Or am I missing something easier?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give,
Ken
