## show-tooltips

Arguments: configuration

Returns the value of the show-tooltips property of configuration. The current configuration is the value of `(configuration *system*)` (see configuration and `*system*`).

If the value of the property is true, tooltips (small windows with brief messages) will be displayed when the mouse cursor moves over an object with a tooltip. A common use of tooltips is to display the name of an object represented on the screen by an icon. show-tooltips is a property of the `configuration` class.

A tooltip may be given to a widget (`dialog-item`), a `hotspot`, or a `button-info` of a `multi-picture-button` widget. A tooltip can be set either by passing it as the value of a tooltip initarg to make-instance, or by calling (setf tooltip) later.

You can examine and change configuration options with the inspector. Choose Tools | Inspect System Data | Configuration Options.
