I've implemented a Ribbon containing some Galleries.

When the mouse hovers over button items, I get the ribbon style tooltip with caption and description (and keyboard shortcut if one assigned).

However, when the mouse hovers over Gallery items, I only get a simple text tooltip containing the text set by CXTPGalleryControlItem::SetTooltip(..).

Is there any way to implement ribbon style tooltips for Gallery items? I'd like the Gallery tooltips to contain caption, description and graphic if possible. Any hints or examples?

I dug a bit further and answered my own question.

The ribbon style tooltips appear when a description is specified using CXTPGalleryControlItem::SetDesciption. To get the graphic on the tooltip, pToolTipContext->ShowImage(TRUE);
