We are placing a CAnimateCtrl on a CXTPStatusBar with a style of ACS_TRANSPARENT using the AddControl function. Is there a way to do this so the control will have theme support? Currently the ACS_TRANSPARENT color shows up as gray instead of the theme color.

Don't use CXTPStatusBarIconPane/CXTPStatusBarLogoPane they are quite obsolete.

Here code you can use instead:

int iIndex = m_wndStatusBar.GetPaneCount();
CXTPStatusBarPane* pPane = m_wndStatusBar.AddIndicator(ID_INDICATOR_ICON, iIndex);

m_wndStatusBar.GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_STATUS_ICON, IDR_STATUS_ICON);
pPane->SetIconIndex(IDR_STATUS_ICON);
pPane->SetText(NULL);
pPane->BestFit();
pPane->SetTooltip(_T("Icon"));

Need to update sample :(

The "adding tooltip to the icon" issue is closer to what we have. I too can see tooltips if I just use SetIndicators to create the items, but we are placing buttons onto the status bar with code that looks like the following...

if ( wndButtonOut.Create( "", WS_CHILD, CRect(0,0,0,0), this, IDTR_OutputSetButton ) )
{
  wndButtonOut.SetFontEx( GetFont() );
  AddIndicator( IDTR_OutputSetButton, 1 );
  int nIndex = CommandToIndex( IDTR_OutputSetButton );
  if ( nIndex != -1 )
  {
   SetPaneWidth( nIndex, 60 );
   wndButtonOut.SetXButtonStyle( BS_XT_XPFLAT | BS_XT_HILITEPRESSED, TRUE );
   AddControl( &wndButtonOut, IDTR_OutputSetButton, FALSE );
  }
}

It works fine to create the buttons, and everything works, except that the tooltips don't show, just like the tooltips for the icon in StatusBar.

I opened Customthemes sample, added

m_wndStatusBar.GetPane(1)->SetTooltip("hi");

and see tooltip under "CAP" item...

How about adding a tooltip to the icon in the StatusBar sample?

Seems like a simple item, but how do I set the text and display a tooltip when I hover over the panes of a CXTPStatusBar control? Looks like I can use "GetPane(x)->SetTooltip( )", but I don't ever see the tooltip - what do I have to call to enable it to popup?]]> Fri, 08 Dec 2006 15:39:09 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5730&PID=18023&title=tooltips-in-cxtpstatusbar#18023
