Tooltip per Checkbox item? #106

Closed frostworx closed 4 years ago

frostworx commented 4 years ago

Hi, I haven't found anything, so I guess the chances are low, but I'd like to ask if it is possible to define a corresponding tooltip to every Checkbox (:CB or :CBE) item? F.e. as source I have a list with

"short-stringA";"/some/absolute/path/with/unknown/length/but/in/any/case/too/long/as/box"
"short-stringB";"/another/absolute/path/with/unknown/length/but/in/any/case/too/long/as/box"

and I'd like to have the short string as selection and the long string as tooltip. Any hint is very welcome!

yad --form --field 'shot!long description:chk'

also you can redefine `!' separator for label and tooltip by setting --item-separator option

Sorry, I didn't express correctly - I meant ComboBox. I'd like to have a new tooltip for every single item which is currently active in the Dropdown Menu.

So with the above example short-stringA and short-stringB would be the visible items in the Dropdown Menu and "/some/absolute/path/with/unknown/length/but/in/any/case/too/long/as/box" and "/another/absolute/path/with/unknown/length/but/in/any/case/too/long/as/box" would be the corresponding tooltip (depending on which is currently selected)

Wouldn't be a big deal if this doesn't work, I just wanted to ask politely.
