> 1. Sorry, there is no way. Think we will add it for future releases.

Oleg made this statement quite a while back (October of 2007). Is this capability present in current (v13.3) release? I can't seem to find any information on it.

I'll look forward to that feature in a future release.

Hello,
 
1. Sorry, ther is no way. Think we will add it for future releases.
 
2. You can add Update handler for command id and manually set tooltiptext for enabled/disabled stats.
 
CXTPControl* pStateCombo = CXTPControl::FromUI(pCmdUI);
 if (pStateCombo) pStateCombo ->SetTooltIpText(strTip);

Do you provide a way to enable the "Press F1 for more help" message at the bottom of ribbon-style tooltips? I couldn't find anything in the docs or source code that appears to do it. I thought maybe it would show up automatically for controls with a HelpId set, but that didn't work either. I would upload an example image from Office, but I don't appear to have the necessary permission.. even though I was able to upload images to a post last week.

Another, similar question: is there an easy way to provide alternate or additional tool tip text when a control is disabled? Office doesn't do it much, but one of their UI guidelines includes having tooltips that explain why a control is disabled. I presume that I could just use SetDescription whenever the enabled state of a control changes, but I thought you might have something baked in for this purpose.

Thanks!]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:21:22 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8305&PID=26941&title=ribbonstyle-tooltips-two-questions#26941
