The ToolTip (tt1) for the first button ( b1) will display when the value of the Floodgauge is less than 25. Once it goes beyond 25 the ToolTip is hidden by using tt1.hide_tip(). It is displayed again by using tt1.show_tip().

my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("520x320")  # width and height

fg = ttk.Floodgauge(
    bootstyle=INFO,
    mask="Progress {}%",
    value=10,
    length=500,
)
fg.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=10, pady=50, columnspan=4)

b1 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Start", command=lambda: fg.start(), bootstyle=SUCCESS)

b2 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Stop", command=lambda: fg.stop(), bootstyle=DANGER)
b2.grid(row=2, column=2, padx=10, pady=40)

b3 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Jump", command=lambda: fg.step(5), bootstyle=PRIMARY)
