    Posted: 02 December 2008 at 5:23pm
Hi;
I call GetToolTipContext()->SetStyle(xtpToolTipOffice2007) but the tooltip that pops up for hidden item text is still drawn like an old style tooltip.

Does anyone know how to change this tooltip also to Office2007 style?

Hi,

Tooltips for Hidden text don't use ToolTipContext.  :(
You can call SetTooltip for all items to show Office 2007 tips.

But this will also double the size required to show records in the control  (each item string is contained twice).
I have to show several thousand records grouped by some columns, so I can't use the control in virtual mode...

No other solutions possible? How can I replace the internal tooltip by my own control?

Hi,
Anoter option - create special Item class for your items, override "virtual CString GetTooltip() const"; method and return Caption.

Hi Oleg;

will this be changed in coming releases, so that the item tooltip also uses the tooltip context?

I've already done this with all my record items. It's simple. Like Oleg said:

class CReportRecordItemText : public CXTPReportRecordItemText
{
public:
    virtual CString GetTooltip() const { return GetCaption(); }
};

Hi;

but this leads to another problem: callin a non const member within a const member function.
And what happens to the tooltip if markup is used?
It's also not usable if the text for the item is provided by CmyRecord::GetItemMetrics() (pItemMetrics->strText) because in this case the caption is not set!

No longer inplace? Don't follow here.
 
Markup --> use markup tooltips or strip markup code from caption. Not a big deal.
 
Virtual mode? I guess you need som special logic for that.
