Tooltips with CXTPToolBar in ActiveX Ctrl

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

Tooltips don't work in a CXTPToolBar in an ActiveX Control.  I asked support for advice and couldn't get an answer.  Well, I managed to make it work.  So if this can help, here is how I solved my problem:  
I created a subclass of CXTPToolBar where I declared an override of OnMouseMove and RelayEvent.

void clToolBarInControl::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)

{
   RelayEvent(WM_MOUSEMOVE, (WPARAM)nFlags,
                  MAKELPARAM(LOWORD(point.x), LOWORD(point.y)));
   CXTPToolBar::OnMouseMove(nFlags, point);
}

void clToolBarInControl::RelayEvent(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM

lParam)
{
   MSG msg;

   msg.hwnd= m_hWnd;
   msg.message= message;
   msg.wParam= wParam;
   msg.lParam= lParam;
   msg.time= 0;
   CPoint point;

   point.x = LOWORD (lParam);
   point.y = HIWORD (lParam);

   // FilterToolTipMessage calls ScreenToClient on the Point so we need 

  // to make sure the Point coordinates are in Client coordinates.

   ::ClientToScreen( m_hWnd, &point );
   msg.pt = point;
   FilterToolTipMessage(&msg);
}

I hope this can help someone with the same problem.
Cheers!
Linda
