how to redefine an offical <OnEnter>?

what i thought is to show my tooltip when mouse moves over the default EXPBar....

i check the offical MainMenuBar.xml

and found

Code:
<OnEnter>
        TextStatusBar_UpdateTextString();
        ShowTextStatusBarText(this);
        ExhaustionTick.timer = 1;
GameTooltip_AddNewbieTip(XPBAR_LABEL, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, NEWBIE_TOOLTIP_XPBAR, 1);
       GameTooltip.canAddRestStateLine = 1;
</OnEnter>
hmmm,,,,which function should i hook.....once i thought to hook a EXPBar_OnEnter(),but now,i was confused......



if no results.....i will define a new frame over the default EXPBar..... but ...it's not what I want.....

Try hooking GameTooltip_AddNewbieTip?

GameTooltip_AddNewbieTip(XPBAR_LABEL, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, NEWBIE_TOOLTIP_XPBAR, 1)

Something like:

oldGameTooltip_AddNewbieTip = GameTooltip_AddNewbieTip
GameTooltip_AddNewbieTip = newGameTooltip_AddNewbieTip

function newGameTooltip_AddNewbieTip(v1,v2,v3,v4,v5,v6)
oldGameTooltip_AddNewbieTip(v1,v2,v3,v4,v5,v6)
GameTooltip:AddLine("Another line")
end

There's a way to pack/unpack arguments (the v1..v6 bit) which I've seen used but don't understand it completely.

local enterFunc = MainMenuExpBar:GetScript("OnEnter");
local newFunc function ()
-- your stuff here
end

MainMenuExpBar:SetScript("OnEnter", function ()
enterFunc()
newFunc();
end);
