# toolTip

Returns text for display as a help tag.

## Declaration

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

## Return Value

Return Value A string that contains help tag content, or NULL if there is no text associated with the annotation.

## Discussion

Discussion This method is equivalent to sending the message [self contents]. PDF Kit’s annotation subclasses override this behavior as appropriate. For example, a PDFAnnotationLink object displays a URL or page destination for its help tag.
