# toolTipInteraction(_:configurationAt:)

Asks the delegate for a tooltip configuration that describes the tooltip settings.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func toolTipInteraction(_ interaction: UIToolTipInteraction, configurationAt point: CGPoint) -> UIToolTipConfiguration?
```

## Parameters

- `interaction`: The tooltip interaction requesting a tooltip configuration.
- `point`: The current position of the pointer in the coordinate space of the view or control associated to the tooltip interaction.

## Return Value

Return Value A tooltip configuration that specifies the text that appears in the tooltip and the region of the view or control where the pointer must hover over to trigger the display of the tooltip. Return nil to prevent the display of the tooltip.

## Discussion

Discussion Implement this method to provide a tooltip configuration based on logic specific to your app. For example, the following code listing returns a tooltip configuration when the pointer hovers over the top or bottom regions of the view. If the pointer hovers over the middle region, the method returns nil to prevent the display of a tooltip. func toolTipInteraction(_ interaction: UIToolTipInteraction, configurationAt point: CGPoint) -> UIToolTipConfiguration? {        var topRect = self.bounds     var bottomRect = self.bounds

let partHeight = self.bounds.size.height / 3     topRect.size.height = partHeight     bottomRect.size.height = partHeight     bottomRect.origin.y = partHeight * 2

// Display tooltip if the pointer within the top or bottom rects.     if topRect.contains(point) {         return UIToolTipConfiguration(toolTip: "Top area of the view.", in: topRect)     } else if bottomRect.contains(point) {         return UIToolTipConfiguration(toolTip: "Bottom area of the view.", in: bottomRect)     }          // Pointer is in the middle of the view. Don't display a tooltip.     return nil }
