Another example of another user complaining about the same issue Yellow tooltips https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14496

 

Regards

 

This is not functional code I am offering up. It was meant just to show that your tooltips are still yellow! They should not be as I have set the contextstyle to office2007. Had I set 1 million records you don't expect me to set the tooltip value to the caption value of every single item do you? If I have set the tooltip style to office2007 I expect the tooltips to look that way not yellow. And not yellow whether I have set the tooltip my self or not. I just don't know how I may better explain this. I don't want to see any yellow ever when the tooltips are office2007. Its nasty and it detracts from the fantastic control that you sell to us. Please fix this Mark N.T. is long dead!!

 

Byw - your function

Private Sub ProgramToolTips(bShow As Boolean) with full loop looks strange and STATIC (if user will change value - you will show OLD ONE in tooltip)! -

 

better use proper one where control will ask data when it will need it

 

Private Sub CommandBars1_Execute(ByVal Control As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBarControl)
Dim RowID As ReportRow
Select Case Control.Id
Case ID_NOTOOLTIP
bTooltipsShow = False

Case ID_ADDTOOLTIP
bTooltipsShow = True
........ better use checkbox instead!

 

Private Sub ReportControl1_GetToolTipInfo(ByVal toolTipInfo As XtremeReportControl.IReportToolTipInfo)

If bTooltipsShow Then
    toolTipInfo.Text = toolTipInfo.Item.Caption
Else
    toolTipInfo.Text = " "  ' NOT "" but " "!

End If

End Sub

 

Best regards

 

 

please use this flags for

 

ReportControl.PaintManager.ForceShowTooltip = True    - show tooltip without checking column / item width; [default - False]
ReportControl.PaintManager.CleanTooltip = True            - clean tooltip from markup command; [default - False]

We need a testcase where you markup used in column headers and in record items and we want to show cleaned tooltip

 

Maybe you're right and I misunderstood but then again I might have used this as a excuse to raise old issues as you appeared to be receptive to a few suggestions.

 

I understand now that you were referring to the RC. What about the default tooltips in RC though that is really annoying See http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14486&KW=tooltip&PID=49812#49812

 

and do you think that you could employ the other suggestions for other code in 13.3 ??

 

Cheers

I also like the idea to use approach to clean markup before show tooltip - same as I did for group rows. This is easy modification - we can also add some flag to use or not such approach

 

I suspect this will be too much for 13.2???

 

I have submitted some posts about tooltips which generally don't allow us to apply tooltips as we should like across the range of your controls.

 

Please see these :

When the ReportControl is drawn with contextstyle set to office2007 the controls default tooltip does not honour that setting. If you set the tooltip.text for yourself it does but lets say the columns are too narrow to display the item.caption and you have not set tooltip text its shown with the default NT style. That's not very nice when shown against other tooltips styles on the same form.

 

I would really like to be able to set tooltip styles globally across all XtremeSuiteControls. But also the individual controls.

 

It might be also a good idea to add a property to allow rendering markup inside the tooltips that you have just fixed for me to combine Office2007 + Markup and to have this render properly to avoid stopping others from having Markup in their tool tips if required. Not sure what you think to that given the work you did this week for me. This might overcome the need to have markup in items and office2007 tooltips elsewhere. What do you think ?

In the workspacetabs of the commandbars we are supposed to be able to use markup. It doesn't appear to work. This is a real shame because I use the Designer utility to create all my icons. The user clicks a command button and an MDIForm opens. I want that tab to use the icon of the commandbar button that launched it. I have to resort to shipping duplicate amounts of bytes to achive this by shipping the original icon and using the Seticon api. If we are able to set the markup of an image into the tab then we could pass a variable into the form to tell it which icon to use.
