    Posted: 09 September 2005 at 5:29am

Hi, I have Combo and Edit controls in my toolbar, and these items have associated tooltip text specified in the resource, but the tooltips do not appear when I hover over them.  Tooltips work fine for all the normal buttons in the toolbar.  I'm sure this worked with the previous version of the toolkit, I'm using 9.7.  Can you please tell me how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi, I can set the tooltip manually by first extracting the text from the resource string for the command and then calling SetTooltip() for the control, but I don't have to do this if I add a button - it does it automatically as you would expect!  I'm pretty sure these controls had tooltips before I upgraded to version 9.7 of the library so is this a bug, or if not then surely it's an oversight?

I also noticed that if you have an edit control in the toolbar and it has a tooltip, the tip is only displayed if you hover over the edge of the control, if you move the cursor over the actual edit window, so the cursor changes to a caret, the tooltip doesn't appear!   Is there some way to make it appear here too?

Thanks.
