How to dynamically change the text in a tooltip?

The RequestTooltip method of the NInteractivityManager class is called by all objects which need to display a tooltip. You can change the text in a tooltip dynamically e.g. you can change tooltip content before it is displayed. You need to do the following:

1. Subclass the NInteractivityManager
2. Override the RequestTooltip like this:

[C#]
public override void RequestTooltip(string tooltip)
{
    // change the tooltip text here
      
    // call the base implementation
    base.RequestTooltip(tooltip);
}

[VB.NET]
Public Overrides Sub RequestTooltip(tooltip As String)
    ' change the tooltip text here
  
    ' call the base implementation
    MyBase.RequestTooltip(tooltip)
End Sub

3. Assign an instance of your subclassed manager to the InteractivityManager property of the view.
