Topic: Tooltip with Title an Description

Subject: Tooltip with Title an Description
Date Posted: 04 November 2010 at 12:28pm

I have activated this kind of tooltip for menu items. (ShowTitleAndDescription(TRUE))
Problem: Some menu items do not have Title AND Description in the Resource and for this case an oldstyle tooltip appears.

Question:
Is there a way to supply lets say an user defined description for that menu items?
Is there somehing like an callback or message for that?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

you can manually set it with pControl->SetDescription method.

Thank you for that information. I know that, but setting it with SetDesicription is almost the same as setting it in the resource to avoid that probem :-)
In the case of leaking description i would use the text of the menu item + title to create the tooltip.
Any other suggestions?

Hi Oleg!
Can I set the description (using pControl->SetDescription) in an event that will be fired right before displaying the tooltip?

Hi,

Please try WM_XTP_CONTROLSELECTED.

// BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CMDIFrameWnd)

// //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMainFrame)

// ON_MESSAGE(WM_XTP_CONTROLSELECTED, OnControlSelected)

// //}}AFX_MSG_MAP

// END_MESSAGE_MAP()

// LRESULT CMainFrame::OnControlSelected(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

// {

// UNUSED_ALWAYS(lParam);

// CXTPControl* pControl = (CXTPControl*)wParam;

// return 0;

// }

only I'm not sure if its called before Tooltipcontext store tip.
