XTP 12.0.2.

Take a look at Excel 2007 -> Insert -> Chart. The tooltips have multiple lines. I tried this with XTP:

ID_EXCEL_CHART_LINE "Insert a line chart.\n\nLine charts are used to display trends over time.\nLine"

pRibbonGroup->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_EXCEL_CHART_LINE);

That yields a button with erroneous caption:

"Line charts are used to display trends over time."

Inside CXTPControl::SetPrompt we get these values:

m_strTooltipText == ""

m_strDescriptionText == "Insert a line chart."

m_strCaption == "Line charts are used to display trends over time."

m_strKeyboardTip == "Line"

Obviously, that is wrong.

Perhaps you should parse the string more intelligently?

Hi,

Afraid its designed.

First prompt string - Description, second - tooltip, 3rd - caption, 4th - keyboard tip.

Well, if you go backwards you get better logic:

Keyboard tip = 1 line, get last line.

Caption = 1 line, get second last line.

Tooltip = Multiple lines, get all but first line.

Description = 1 line, get first line.

This would make sense to me.
