In XTP 13.0.0 I am using the CXTPPropertySheet and I have set the Layout to be xtpTabLayoutSizeToFit. I  also EnableToolTips with the xtpTabToolTipShrinkedOnly style. I would expect that when the size to fit ends up sizing a tab smaller than the caption that a tooltip will be shown displaying the full caption. But this does not happen.

It appears that CXTPTabManager::PerformToolHitTest will only provide a tooltip if a tab tooltip has been set. I think it is reasonable to expect  that when the style xtpTabToolTipShrinkedOnly is set that the tooltip should fallback to the caption if no real tooltip is found.


The fix I am currently using in CXTPTabManager::PerformToolHitTest is:

        if (strTip.IsEmpty())
      {
      if ( GetPaintManager()->m_toolBehaviour == xtpTabToolTipShrinkedOnly )
        {
            strTip = pItem->GetCaption();
        }
      else return -1;
      }

Hopefully this can be added to the next release.
