Ellipsis should be avoided according to Microsoft recommendations. Menu items are the only exception:
Word 2007 does it right. The header of the tooltip has no ellipsis.
![]() XTP 13.3.1 does not take care of this! It's rather ugly to have three dots in the tooltip...
Modify RibbonSample:
pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bShowPopupBarToolTips = TRUE;
ID_EDIT_PASTE_SPECIAL "Insert Clipboard contents with options\nPaste &Special..."
Then you get this:

znakeeye, just so you know, the three dots are called an ellipsis (...), not a hyphen (-).

Hi,
You can set different Caption and Tooltip with such string: Insert Clipboard contents with options\nPaste Special\nPaste &Special.... |

But just in case you don't add string as Oleg suggest we made it so that it will remove the trailing ellipses before displaying the tip.
