I would like to extend the individual GUI elements, do some custom processing and later call the default function.

For example: Whenever a particular Input Element is selected in the Component window, I would like show a TooTip to the user associated with that field.

Kindly provide some pointers.

Sorry for my earlier attempt in framing the question Reframing it again.

Actually I have a schema with four fields, My requirement is to show a help text, whenever the focus is on a particular field.

One of the field holds Country Name: So when the focus is on the Country Name ( Single Text Field ) I need to show "Please enter the Country Name" on the text field. So that the editor understands the same, without using the Schema Description field.

So my question was can we capture the events for all types of fields ( like Multimedia, RTF, Single Line ) in the Component Edit view ?

Hope was able to make my question more clear

You would have to extend the Component-edit screen for this. I suggest you read-up on Tridion GUI extensions:

Also, searching stackoverlow might help: Extending the publish screen

A valuable source of examples is the PowerTools project. You can find it here

Asking a more specific question allows us to help you more specific.
