The Tooltip Theme for the items does not seem to follow the general Theme for the Property Grid. Using the Office 2013 Theme shows two different tooltip "look" for the section headers, and for the items?

Hi cpede,
Actually in the second case you see the whole value of grid item because the value is partially hidden. It is drawn exactly like it would be drawn if the place was enough.

Except it uses the "old fashion" yellow background color, which the themed tooltips are not using anymore.

Aghhh, you did not fix this in v1801.

Very easy to reproduce in the Property Grid Sample.

It seems, that the tool tips for the items in the property editor is NOT following the theme.

I had the same problem and since I was very annoyed I took a look at the code and surprisingly found that theme tooltip support was already in place (CXTPPropertyGridToolTip).

What was missing was drawing tooltips using themes. I then took the code from CXTPGridControl which has the tooltips that work correctly (CXTPGridTip) and copied and adapted the code from the OnPaint method.

For simplicity I report below all the OnPaint code even if the changes are few

void CXTPPropertyGridToolTip::OnPaint()
{
    CPaintDC dc(this);
    CXTPClientRect rc(this);

    dc.SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);

    BOOL bToolipDrawn = FALSE;
    CWnd* pToolTip = m_pGrid->GetPropertyGrid()->GetToolTipContext()->CreateToolTip(m_pGrid);
    if (NULL != pToolTip)
    {
        pToolTip->SetWindowPos(&CWnd::wndTop, 0, 0, rc.Width(), rc.Height(),
                               SWP_HIDEWINDOW | SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_NOOWNERZORDER
                                   | SWP_NOREDRAW | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOCOPYBITS);
        bToolipDrawn =
            (TRUE
             == pToolTip->SendMessage(WM_PRINTCLIENT, reinterpret_cast<WPARAM>(dc.GetSafeHdc()),
                                      PRF_CLIENT | PRF_ERASEBKGND | PRF_CHILDREN | PRF_OWNED));
        pToolTip->DestroyWindow();
        delete pToolTip;
    }

    if (!bToolipDrawn)
    {
        m_pGrid->GetPropertyGrid()->GetToolTipContext()->DrawBackground(&dc, rc);
    }

    if ((m_pGrid->GetExStyle() & WS_EX_RTLREADING)
        || (m_pGrid->GetExStyle() & WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL))
    {
        dc.SetTextAlign(TA_RTLREADING);
    }

    CString strText;
    GetWindowText(strText);

    CXTPFontDC font(&dc, &m_xtpFont);
    CRect rcText(rc);
    rcText.left += XTP_DPI_X(4);

    dc.DrawText(strText, rcText, DT_SINGLELINE | DT_VCENTER | DT_NOPREFIX);
}



Not extensively tested but it seems ok to me.
