# toolTip

The text for the view’s tooltip.

## Declaration

```swift
var toolTip: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this property is nil if the view does not currently display tooltip text. Assigning a value to this property causes the tooltip to be displayed for the view. Setting the property to nil cancels the display of the tooltip for the view.
