    Posted: 27 February 2008 at 4:51pm
When a control is placed on the Ribbon, the result of control->GetDescription() is used for both the Tooltip and the Status bar text.

Does anyone have suggestions for the best way to set it up so that there is different text in each one? I'd like to put a brief summary in the status bar, and a detailed description in the Tooltip.

I was planning to use the SetParameter function to store the additional text within the control. I haven't decided whether I should use SetParameter to hold the Tooltip text, and change how we populate the tooltip, or if it's easier to use SetParameter to store Status Bar text, and change how we populate the status bar. Any ideas?
