I apologize in advance for this - the answer is probably right under my nose, but I just can't see it and it's driving me crazy! How do I get the beautiful system menu preview graphic into the tooltip that comes up for the system button? The ribbon sample has this:  In my own app, I just get the text. I can't see any png/bmp in the sample's resources that contains the graphic? |

Hi,
You need load this bitmap. In sample these lines load it:
UINT uiGroupsTip[] = {ID_GROUP_CLIPBOARD_OPTION, ID_GROUP_FONT_OPTION, ID_GROUP_PARAGRAPH_OPTION, ID_GROUP_STYLES_OPTION, IDB_GEAR}; pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(IDB_GROUPOPTIONTOOLTIP, uiGroupsTip, _countof(uiGroupsTip), CSize(100, 130)); ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Can I also load images like that at runtime? I.e. anpreview of documents? |

Sorry, but I didn't see a change button. I must show preview-tooltips for GalleryItems. In my class, derived from CXTPControlGalleryItem, I can only set a string for tooltip. Can I catch the tooltip's popup-message to paint my own tooltip with mfc, or is it possible to derive a tooltip-class from CXTPControlGalleryItem's tooltip? Thank you, didi |

You can create your own tooltip window and that lets you draw/paint whatever you wish. Subclass a CXTPToolTipContext and implement the virutal method CreateToolTip. Create your tooltip when that method is called. I'm not sure how you will get your derived tooltip context set in the command bars class. We have derived from CJ's command bars object and after contstruction, we do this: CMDTARGET_RELEASE(m_pToolTipContext);// releases the tip context CJ created in the ctor m_pToolTipContext = new JCXTPToolTipContext;// creates and replaced the CJ context with our own |
