Hi Szabolcs, Why not use run-time code generation? ClearAll[withPaletteButtons]; SetAttributes[withPaletteButtons, HoldFirst]; withPaletteButtons[code_, tooltipFunction_: First] := Unevaluated[code] /. HoldPattern[Button[args__, opts : OptionsPattern[]]] :> Tooltip[Button[args, Appearance -> "Palette",opts], tooltipFunction[Hold[args]], TooltipDelay -> Automatic]; You use it as: withPaletteButtons[ CreatePalette[{Button["Button1"], Button["Button2"]}]] Cheers, Leonid On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 2:00 PM, Szabolcs <szhorvat at gmail.com> wrote: > What is the most convenient way to create palette buttons with tooltips > that use the OS-wide tooltip delay? > > Currently I am using > > CreatePalette@ > Tooltip[Button["Button", Appearance -> "Palette"], "Tooltip", > TooltipDelay -> Automatic] > > But this seems like a lot of work (both TooltipDelay -> Automatic and > Appearance -> "Palette" needed) just to get the behvaiour which could be > expected as a default from a palette. > > When I have several buttons, what's the simplest and most concise way to > do this? > >
