Oh yes, I had this idea too. Is TreeView originally a qt or GTK thing, 
Gambas only linking to it? And does it have this tooltip option? That 
would make it rather easy for Benoit to implement it.

If not, it might be easier if each Gambas coder makes one.

BUT to make a start, I will try around a bit with the events you posted 
above, thank you for that!
