# Tooltips

The Tooltips property defines which tooltips are displayed for widgets, the cells of a table widget, the entries in a menu widget or elements of a chart widget.

#### Value type

Tooltips are of the value type *text*. If other value types such as numbers or dates are specified, these are converted to text.

If a tooltip value is empty, no tooltip is displayed for this element.

#### Remarks

* If only one tooltip value is specified for a menu widget, this is displayed for the menu button. If a list of tooltip values is specified, these tooltips are displayed for the individual entries of the menu pop-up.
* It is possible to format the tooltips using HTML markup (see example 2 below).

#### Examples

Example 1: In this example, the exact day of the order is displayed as a tooltip for the year.
