Is it possible to make a workoround in the meantime. For example somthing like this in the correct place?? m_ToolTip.SendMessage(TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH, 0, SHRT_MAX); This would be enable the multi line feature. When is the next version available? |

It must. steps: 1. Open GUI_VisualStudio sample 2. comment line LoadCommandBars(_T("CommandBars")); 3. add line pCommandBar->GetControl(0)->SetTooltip(_T("line1\nline 2"));
4. First button must show multiline tip. (for 9.70 rc1 and higher) ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

as I understand secont bar is simple m_wndToolBar created with CreateToolBar if so, you must assign some CommandBars to it before you create it:
CXTPCommandBars* m_pCommandBars;
m_pCommandBars = CXTPCommadnBars::CreateCommandBars(); m_wndToolBar.SetCommandBars(m_pCommandBars); m_wndToolBar.CreateToolBar ...

Thank you for the help Sorry about that, but now it looks like that:  You see the tooltip is displayed now 2 times. I have implemented the toolbar as a class derived from CXTPToolBar. In an init function i create the toolbar with following lines: m_pCommandBars = CXTPCommandBars::CreateCommandBars(); SetCommandBars(m_pCommandBars); m_pCommandBars->SetSite(this); // without this line i got an assertion if the mouse is moved over a toolbar control VERIFY(CreateToolBar(WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|CBRS_TOOLTIPS, pParent, AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR)); SetFlags(xtpFlagStretched|xtpFlagManualUpdate); // set new color of keyselbar SetPaintManager(CXTPPaintManager::CreateTheme(xtpThemeWhid bey)); GetPaintManager()->SetTheme(xtpThemeWhidbey); m_pOwner = this; // to get the ON_COMMAND Messages of the bar to our own class What i doing wrong? thx |
