For which programming language?  

`eldoc-mode' does it for Emacs Lisp, and the ilisp package provides it
for Common Lisp.  They don't actually use tooltips, but display the
information in the mini-buffer.

Something similar might be available for other languages -- for Java you
should probably look at the JDE package.

Take a look at Kevin Burton's site,

I'm sorry... left out what programinglanguage : C / C++.

Hi,

  If you use the semantic package, you can get something close to
what you are looking for in those languages supported by semantic (c,
c++, java, scheme, & Make)

Have fun
