Don't know what you are asking.

Please provide:
  • Your code listing (use bbcode tags)
  • GUI package you are using
  • Elaboration of your request.

As Larz60+ stated, please show your code and define your need.

Reading your request is seems you are asking how to copy the text that is displayed in a windows tooltip popup, is that correct?
