typedef Evas_Object*(* Elm_Tooltip_Content_Cb)(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, Evas_Object *tooltip)

Called back when a widget's tooltip is activated and needs content.

Parameters:

typedef Evas_Object*(* Elm_Tooltip_Item_Content_Cb)(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, Evas_Object *tooltip, void *item)

void elm_object_tooltip_content_cb_set ( Evas_Object obj,
Elm_Tooltip_Content_Cb  func,
const void *  data,
Evas_Smart_Cb  del_cb 
)

Set the content to be shown in the tooltip object.

Parameters:
objThe object being attached a tooltip.
funcThe function used to create the tooltip contents.
dataWhat to provide to func as callback data/context.
del_cbFunction called when data is not needed anymore, either when another callback replaces func, the tooltip is unset with elm_object_tooltip_unset() or the owner object obj dies. This callback receives as the first parameter the given data, and event_info is NULL.

Setup the tooltip to object. The object can have only one tooltip, so any previous tooltip data is removed. func(with data) will be called every time that need show the tooltip and it should return a valid Evas_Object. This object is then managed fully by tooltip system and is deleted when the tooltip is gone.
