Tooltips for controls in UWindowDialogClientWindow

To activate the tooltips for controls placed in a UWindowDialogClientWindow, use the controls' SetHelpText method and add this piece of code to your UWindowDialogClientWindow subclass. (Probably merge it with an existing Notify function.)

function Notify(UWindowDialogControl C, byte E)
{
    switch(E) {
        // these are used to display tooltips
        case DE_MouseMove:
            if ( UMenuRootWindow(Root) != None && UMenuRootWindow(Root).StatusBar != None)
                UMenuRootWindow(Root).StatusBar.SetHelp(C.HelpText);
            break;
        case DE_MouseLeave:
            if ( UMenuRootWindow(Root) != None && UMenuRootWindow(Root).StatusBar != None)
                UMenuRootWindow(Root).StatusBar.SetHelp("");
            break;
    }
    Super.Notify(C, E);
}
