I've done this with a custom control group, it should work with a widget too. Calculate the 
rectangles (or at least the left and right edges) of each segment and in a mouseEnter handler 
compare the mouseLoc to the rectangles to see which one it's in. Then set the tooltip to the 
appropriate string. You can also add a mouseMove handler to do the same thing if you want to 
change tooltips as the mouseLoc changes inside the widget.

If the updated tooltip doesn't display reliably, set the tooltip to empty, wait a millisecond 
or so, and then set it to the new string.
