Hi,
 
I want to extend the tooltip for some toolbar items. I managed to create a Markup and it looks very nice and it works  Good job CodeJock
 
Now, in the beginning the extended tooltips will be used but after a while a user will be annoyed when hovering over a toolbar item and a "huge" tooltip will appear (because he/she knows the options already). So I want also the tooltip as an ordinary tooltip looks like, nothing fancy
 
 
Normally the tooltip (if no tooltipText is set) will be like the descriptionText of the toolbar item, right? see Image 1.
But when a tooltipText is set to some MarkUp tooltip and I would want to disable the extended tooltip I get the string of the MarkUp in the ordinary tooltip, see Image 2.
 
Only with Standard and Balloon the tooltip is "normal". Why is there a difference and why is the description text also present with all other styles?

Hi,
 
You have to set xtpToolTipMarkup tooltip style to see markup.... or I don't understand the question :)

Hi,

I think you don't understand what I'm trying to say (look at the first line, Oleg. Then you see it's working perfectly )
 
But I think I know why there is a difference.
 
If I set CommandBars.ToolTipContext.ShowTitleAndDescription True, xtpToolTipIconWarning then all tooltipstyles (except standard,balloon and RTF) will show the title and the description as a tooltip. The Markup string is the title of the tooltip and the description is the description as I set it when adding the toolbar combo. Standard,balloon and RTF style can only show the description as tooltip, right?
 
Now this is (almost) clear to me, OK then I have the following: Can we have a property tooltipContext.ShowOnlyDescription?

Hi,
 
What ShowOnlyDescription will give ? Just set Control.tooltip  to the string you want to be description :)

Oleg,
 
I have something in my mind that I can't seem to explain. Let's leave it this way, OK?
 
Thanks anyway for your reply.
