Re: wxToolbar on Mac, controls not showing tooltips.

An update.

If I do the set the short help text for the control (see below), the 
tooltips show up. So I have a work around.

Tony.


wxComboBox *combo = new wxComboBox(toolBar, ID_COMBO, 
wxEmptyString,wxDefaultPosition, FromDIP(wxSize(100,-1)) );

wxToolBarToolBase *pItem = toolBar->AddControl(combo, "Combo Label");
pItem->SetShortHelp("SHORT test");
