As GtkTooltips API is replaced with GtkTooltip API there should be new implementation in Tooltip.createHandle()  of handle when SWT_BALOON is 0.

Method  gtk_tooltips_new() that  is currently  used is deprecated since 2.12
Comment 1 Anatoly Spektor CLA 2013-08-15 12:50:00 EDT 
From GtkTooltip doc:

Basic tooltips can be realized simply by using gtk_widget_set_tooltip_text() or gtk_widget_set_tooltip_markup() without any explicit tooltip object. 
( https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.9/GtkTooltip.html#gtk-tooltip-set-text )

Basing on the documentation GtkTooltip does not have equivalent to gtk_tooltips_new, so I don't think it would be possible to create a new Tooltip object in CreateHandle() function with GtkToolTip-API. If anyone has any thoughts on this issue, it would be cool!
Comment 2 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2013-08-15 15:06:06 EDT 
GtkWidget has query-tooltip signal which can be used to fetch its GtkTooltip instance. After that gtk_tooltip_set_custom(tooltip, custom_widget) can be used to set whatever widget you want as the tooltip.
Comment 3 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2015-09-23 07:34:34 EDT 
gtk_tooltips_new is no longer used nowadays as it was used only for pre 2.12 gtk which was removed via bug 461891 .
