Tooltip problem in floating pane

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

   Hi,
I have a dockable pane which a dialog box attach to it. The dialog contains a button which has a tooltip. The problem is that when the pane is floating, the tooltip appears behind the pane.
I attached a small sample to demonstrate the problem (Float the left pane and see the behaviour of the tooltips).

	Hi, If you haven't set the WS_EX_TOPMOST style of the tooltip this could occure. Another solution - in the TTN_SHOW handler (OnNotify) bring the tooltip to from by calling // make sure the tooltip is at the top of the "Z" order, otherwise // it will appear behind any popup windows.... ::SetWindowPos(hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE \| SWP_NOSIZE \| SWP_NOACTIVATE); I hope this helps

	Common solution for this tooltip problem is: BOOL CMasterDialog::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult) { NMHDR* pNMHDR = (NMHDR*)lParam; switch (pNMHDR->code) { case TTN_SHOW: { if (m_TT.GetSafeHwnd()) { // make sure the tooltip is at the top of the "Z" order, otherwise // it will appear behind popup windows.... ::SetWindowPos(m_TT, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE \| SWP_NOSIZE \| SWP_NOACTIVATE); } } break; } return CDialog::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult); }
