Info bars are used to describe the contents shown in a window or in a part of a window. The text shown in info bars is not static but may change according to the context in which the window is opened.

If the Text in the info bar is too wide it will be truncated and an ellipsis will be shown. In that case the tool tip text will show the whole text of the info bar

Figure 2: The same info bar as in Figure 1 but with not enough space to display the whole text.
