Ribbon caption flaw

   XTP 12.0.2.

Take a look at Excel 2007 -> Insert -> Chart. The tooltips have multiple lines. I tried this with XTP:

ID_EXCEL_CHART_LINE "Insert a line chart.\n\nLine charts are used to display trends over time.\nLine"

pRibbonGroup->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_EXCEL_CHART_LINE);

That yields a button with erroneous caption:
"Line charts are used to display trends over time."

Inside CXTPControl::SetPrompt we get these values:
m_strTooltipText == ""
m_strDescriptionText == "Insert a line chart."

m_strCaption == "Line charts are used to display trends over time."
m_strKeyboardTip == "Line"

Obviously, that is wrong.

Perhaps you should parse the string more intelligently?

	Hi, Afraid its designed. First prompt string - Description, second - tooltip, 3rd - caption, 4th - keyboard tip.

	Well, if you go backwards you get better logic: Keyboard tip = 1 line, get last line. Caption = 1 line, get second last line. Tooltip = Multiple lines, get all but first line. Description = 1 line, get first line. This would make sense to me.
