Howto set tooltip text of CXTPControlComboBox

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

   Hi;

Using toolkit v 10.3.1 I created a CXTPControlComboBox control as found in the samples section of the toolkit, but I'm unable to set the tooltip text to something different than the caption/label of the control. The code in OnCreateControl() function looks like:

CXTPControlComboBox* pComboFind = (CXTPControlComboBox*)CXTPControlComboBox::CreateObject();

pComboFind->SetDropDownListStyle();
pComboFind->SetWidth(180);
CString strPrompt;
VERIFY(strPrompt.LoadString(ID_PROCESSEXPLORER_SEARCH));
pComboFind->SetStyle(xtpComboLabel);
pComboFind->SetCaption(strPrompt);
VERIFY(strPrompt.LoadString(ID_PROCESSEXPLORER_SEARCHTIP));
pComboFind->SetTooltip(strPrompt);
pComboFind->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);
pComboFind->SetEnabled(TRUE);

The tip is always the same as specified in the call to SetCaption().

What am I doing wrong?

Martin

	Hi, you all do right. Problem that later pComboFind->SetID([Id]) will be called and Tooltip text will be replaced from string table. As workaround call pComboFind->SetID([Id]) before pComboFind->SetTooltip.
