The parameter tool tip is a system tool tip that displays a parameter as text. Its attributes are the combination of the attributes of the TOOLTIP and the PARAM_TEXT widgets.
See TOOLTIP (except 'text' attribute that is replaced by the formatted parameter data) and PARAM_TEXT.
See the TOOLTIP and PARAM_TEXT widgets widgets for detailed examples.
Display a param tool tip on a knob (the blank cell has been added so that the skin is larger than the tool tip).
