5# Tix Demonstration Program
6#
7# This sample program is structured in such a way so that it can be
8# executed from the Tix demo program "tixwidgets.py": it must have a
9# procedure called "RunSample". It should also have the "if" statment
10# at the end of this file so that it can be run as a standalone
11# program.
12
13# This file demonstrates the use of the tixBalloon widget, which provides
14# an interesting way to give help tips about elements in your user interface.
15# Your can display the help message in a "balloon" and a status bar widget.
16#
