I do not see your code. If it is about Cocoa (you make Mac OS application), and if you have only the window (NSWindow), I think, you need to make a custom view (NSView). NSView knows how to work with the tooltips. You will set all parameters and it will work. It is a bit late here to test right now. For any control, as you see, it is a trivial task to add a tooltip.<br />

I didn't test it.<br />

Cocoa Application - Tooltip

Swift is a compiled programming language created for iOS, OS X, watchOS, tvOS and Linux development by Apple Inc. Swift is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C code written for Apple products. Swift is intended to be more resilient to erroneous code ("safer") than Objective-C and also more concise. It is built with the LLVM compiler framework included in Xcode 6 and later and uses the Objective-C runtime, which allows C, Objective-C, C++ and Swift code to run within a single program. A second free implementation of Swift targets Microsoft's Common Language Infrastructure (a.k.a. .NET) and the Java/Android platform.
