[SOLVED] Similar tooltip window as used in ribbon

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi;

I'm trying to create tooltip windows in my dialogs and views that look similar to the one used in ribbon bars. I tried several approaches but the font looks always different and also the size/position of the image is not the same.

Here you see the tooltip shown in the ribbon bar:

And here is mine:

The code to create my tooltip context in OnInitDialog is here:

    EnableToolTips();

    TipContext_->SetModuleToolTipContext();
    TipContext_->SetStyle(xtpToolTipResource);
    TipContext_->ModifyToolTipStyle(0, XTP_TTS_OFFICE2007FRAME);
    TipContext_->ShowTitleAndDescription(TRUE);
    TipContext_->ShowImage(TRUE, 0, 32);
    TipContext_->SetMaxTipWidth(200);

The application is skinned, so perhaps I have to consider this too, but how?

Any help is very wecome!
