Tooltips and long titles in XTP 12 (maybe older versions) should maybe have ellipses (...) at end if longer than tooltip window, please see below image to see what we mean:

Hello,
 
I recommend call pControl->SetTooltip to set some short text:
pControl->SetTooltip("Add Bleed");
 
long caption in tooltip look bad. Move your note to description.

Totally agreed, and consider it changed in our code.
 
We do plan to change over to Markup tooltips later but seems a lot more work right now :(
 
Can you have markup tooltips in resources???
 
Thank you,

To show how easy to add markup tooltips can you add them to the Ribbon samples for future as this would show off the sample better also.
