Background to tooltip - how?

I have a tooltip that i want to be on a semi- transparent background so I've added a 60% black image to the background of my skin for labels. The thing is I need the label to resize to fit the tooltip. Since the tooltip varies in size depending on what it is set to, is there a way to find the size of GUI.tooltip?

 

Found it...

var tooltipSize : Vector2 = mySkin.label.CalcSize(GUIContent(GUI.tooltip) );

 

Hi,

Could explain me how we can use a background with a tooltip?
At the moment I can only print text in a transparent Label... but the tooltip have to be visible only on mouse over a specific button...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. GUI.skin = myButton4V;
3.     buttonVG = GUI.Button (Rect (_pos_x+260,_pos_y+232,100,55), GUIContent("","ToolTip_Text"));
4.  
5.     if (buttonVG) {
6.        
7.     }
8.    
9. //TOOLTIP
10.  
11.     GUI.Label(Rect (Event.current.mousePosition.x,Event.current.mousePosition.y,100,55), GUI.tooltip);

Any suggestions?

Thanx Bye

 

Add a GUIstyle to it and set the background in the style to an image.

 

Oh thank you for your quick reply...

Ok I have just add a GUIStyle on my Label...but I discorver that the Style is always visible and this is obviously... :wink:

I have to do an "If - condition" on the position of mouse on the window to check if it is over the right button or I'm misunderstanding something?

 

Oh ok...I found the error... The Error was ME!!!
It was too easy... only a check if the tooltip is null...
:wink:

Thanx
