Use the SetTooltip method?
We subclass the ribbon bar and react to OnToolHitTest. We not only can change the text, but we can change the tooltip style (to xtpToolTipHTML) to affect the style of individual ribbon controls. |

Beth. Ignore what I said! When OnToolHitTest is called, if you change the style CJ deletes the current tooltip. That would be fine since it is in instance data but the code that calls OnToolHitTest has a copy of the pointer to the tooltip that gets deleted. So that is a show stopper.
It looks like you cannot change the style dynamically during an OnToolHitTest call. And the methods on the stack to get to OnToolHitTest are not virtual until you get to CXTPCommandBar::OnWndMsg. So at that point you can switch styles but you don't know what control will be hit. I simply don't see a way to change styles based on the control itself. |
