Hi there,

Look at my function that shows tooltip for treeview column (gtkmm-2.12
version)

    bool Grid::motion_notify_cb( GdkEventMotion* event )
    {
        Gtk::TreeModel::Path path;
        Gtk::TreeViewColumn* column;
        int cell_x, cell_y;

        if ( view.get_path_at_pos( (int)event->x,
                                   (int)event->y,
                                   path, column,
                                   cell_x, cell_y ) )
        {
            Glib::ustring tip = get_cell_tooltip( path, column->get_title() );
            if( !tip.empty() )
            {
                instanceProperties.tooltips->set_tip( view, tip );
                GdkEventCrossing* user_event = (GdkEventCrossing*)gdk_event_new( GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY );
                user_event->window = event->window;
                user_event->send_event = TRUE;
                user_event->subwindow = event->window;
                user_event->time = event->time;
                user_event->x = event->x;
                user_event->y = event->y;
                user_event->x_root = event->x_root;
                user_event->y_root = event->y_root;
                user_event->mode = GDK_CROSSING_NORMAL;
                user_event->detail = GDK_NOTIFY_ANCESTOR;
                user_event->focus = TRUE;
                Gdk::Event cpp_event( (GdkEvent*)user_event );
                cpp_event.put();
            }
            else
            {
                instanceProperties.tooltips->unset_tip( view );
            }
        }
        else
        {
            instanceProperties.tooltips->unset_tip( view );
        }
        return false;
    }

In other words you should fire event that will show tooltip at runtime
(emulate mouse entering area of tooltip widget)

Regargs,
