Panel:SetTooltipPanel

  Panel:SetTooltipPanel( Panel tooltipPanel = nil )

Description

Sets the panel to be displayed as contents of a DTooltip when a player hovers over the panel object with their cursor. See Panel:SetTooltipPanelOverride if you are looking to override DTooltip itself.

Panel:SetTooltip will override this functionality.
Calling this from PANEL:OnCursorEntered is too late! The tooltip will not be displayed or be updated.

Given panel or the previously set one will NOT be automatically removed.

Arguments

1 Panel tooltipPanel = nil
The panel to use as the tooltip.
