# When to use

Use this constructor/helper as the typed entrypoint for the widget or layout helper it creates.

# Why to use

It gives explicit widget construction with compile-time type checking and builder chaining.

# Inline Examples (from rustdoc)

use iced::widget::{container, tooltip};

enum Message {
    // ...
}

fn view(_state: &State) -> Element<'_, Message> {
    tooltip(
        "Hover me to display the tooltip!",
        container("This is the tooltip contents!")
            .padding(10)
            .style(container::rounded_box),
        tooltip::Position::Bottom,
    ).into()
}

# Use this when...

• You want the canonical entrypoint for creating this widget/helper.
• You need concrete constructor arguments and builder chaining.
• You are wiring UI interactions into typed messages.

# Minimal example

// Call this constructor in `view`, then map events to Message variants.

# How it works

Constructors return typed widget values. You configure behavior via builder methods and emit Message values for update to handle.

# Common patterns

// Keep constructor calls close to their message mapping.
// Prefer small helper functions for repeated widget setups.

# Gotchas / tips

• Re-check argument order in the verified signature on this page.
• Keep side effects out of view; trigger them from update with Task.
• Use the related family page when deciding between module/element APIs.
