how to capture the item text dipslay event?

[hzh003]

Hello here. I am new to wow interfance and is trying to write a little addon myself.
I try to caputre a event when item's text get display. That is when u mouse is over the item in you bags and bank or highlighted text in chat channel, a diagram appears with the item's detail description.

I try the following code but it seems not working.

if ( event == "ITEM_TEXT_BEGIN" ) then
message("Hello World!");
return;
end

Also, how do I retrieve the items text and refomated it? (like change the color and stuff?

Thanks a lot

Tom

Perhaps you can do something similar.
