    Posted: 05 January 2010 at 6:50am
Hi, I have Ribbon menus and tooltips are being shown ok. My problem is that there is no tooltip displayed in some cases:
 
1. Controls that are contained by another (i.e. xtpControlPopup, xtpControlButtonPopup, xtpControlSplitButtonPopup).
2. Items from the menu of the main button.
 
Is there any way to solve this?
 
Thank you!

Well, I see that all controls in Ribbon are contained by the main CommandBar (CXTPRibbonBar) which in turn is contained by the main CXTPCommandBars* object. This object is associated with the CXTPToolTipContext that manages tooltips.
 
On the contrary, those controls that don't display tooltip are not contained by any CommandBar. This seems to be the problem.

CXTPControlPopup* pControl = (CXTPControlPopup*) pGroup->Add(xtpControlPopup, ID_008) ;                        ---> pControl owned by the CommandBar

 
CXTPControl* pSubControl = pControl->GetCommandBar ()->GetControls ()->Add (xtpControlButton, ID_155) ;   ---> pSubControl NOT owned by the CommandBar!
 
 
Am I correct? Does it have a solution?

Hi Oleq, in this case, pControl displays tooltip (image1) and pSubControl wouldn't display tooltip (image2).
I've edited previous post.
Thank you!
