    Posted: 23 March 2007 at 5:00am
Hello,

I've added my own control into an XTP toolbar through CXTPControlCustom, but setting a tooltip text for this control just doesn't display any tooltip.

        CXTPControlCustom* pControlEmbedder = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom(&m_MyControl);
        pControlEmbedder->SetTooltip(_T("My Tooltip Text"));
        m_pMyToolbar->GetControls()->Add(pControlEmbedder);

Do you have any idea what's wrong with this? Do I have to handle tooltips of my control window on my own?

Thank you for any suggestions, in advance!

One workaround would be to use a "normal" handling of tooltips for that single custom control of mine. Is there any commandbar-based solution for this?

Hi,
 
Here little workaround class:
 
template <class T>
class CToolTipRouter : public T
{
 BOOL OnWndMsg(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)
 {
  CXTPCommandBar* pCommandBar = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPCommandBar, GetParent());
  
  if (pCommandBar)
  {
   pCommandBar->FilterToolTipMessage(message, wParam, lParam);
  }
  if (message == XTP_TTM_WINDOWFROMPOINT)
  {
   *pResult = 1;
   return TRUE;
  }
  
  return CWnd::OnWndMsg(message, wParam, lParam, pResult);
 }
};
 
 
Now replace your m_MyControl declaration in mainfrm.h from
 
CMyClass m_MyControl;
 
to
 
CToolTipRouter<CMyClass> m_MyControl;
