For what added const? (everywhere where it is called, it is not const)
I overload CXTPReportRecordItem::GetTooltip() and I can not call from it GetCaption for example  |

Why "added" -
ver 12.1:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Summary:
// Returns the text tool tip for the item
// Returns:
// The text tool tip for the item.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
virtual CString GetTooltip() const;
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Summary:
// Call this member to set/change the item tool tip.
// Parameters:
// lpszTooltip - Tool tip of the item
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
virtual void SetTooltip(LPCTSTR lpszTooltip);

My question is: why "const"?

Because GetTooltip does not change the content of the class!
Take a look at good C++ books about 'const correctness', e.g. 'Exeptional C++'... If you really need a non-const version, you can cast the const away (const_cast<>), but this is not recommended. |

Martin, I know that this is not recommended (I am a little know C++
 ) - Because of this I made a post on this forum. Who said that GetTooltip does not change the content of the class? It is virtual and i want to change the content! Does GetCaption change the content of the class? But it is not const! I only told library's developers about the architectural limitations. |
