Caption 

The UI element Caption is used by a row of UI elements, for example, Group, Tab, Table, TableColumn and Tray, to provide a heading or a title.

To enable the development of accessible applications, the tooltip property is checked during the syntax check if the property text is not set.

A tooltip does not necessarily have to be set for this UI element, but it could make sense to set it if it contains detailed semantic information.
