tooltip with function description

[Sam]

Hi,
When a function of the framwork is being called by an object of its
class, a tooltip pops up on the screen with the definition of the
function as well as a description of what the function does.
When I call my own functions of my own classes, the tooltip appears but
it only contains the function's definition. How can I add the
description as well ?
