Hello,

i use V9.81.
Is there a way to add a scrollbar to the help field.
Or how can i add a tooltip to the help field, if
the text is to large.
Also show tooltip with multiline.

Jimmy

Hello,

You can override CXTPPropertyGrid and catch MFC's OnToolHitTest...

Hello,

code:

class CPropertyGrid : public CXTPPropertyGrid
{
public:
CPropertyGrid()
{
m_pToolTipContext = new CXTPToolTipContext;
m_pToolTipContext->SetMaxTipWidth(200);

m_pToolTipContext->ShowTitleAndDescription(TR UE);
//m_pToolTipContext->SetStyle(xtpToolTipBallo on);

}

~CPropertyGrid()
{
CMDTARGET_RELEASE(m_pToolTipContext); ; ;
}

BOOL OnWndMsg(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)
{
  if (m_pToolTipContext)
  {
   m_pToolTipContext->FilterToolTipMessage (this, message, wParam, lParam);
  }

  return CWnd::OnWndMsg(message, wParam, lParam, pResult);
}

INT_PTR OnToolHitTest(CPoint point, TOOLINFO* pTI) const
{

  ASSERT_VALID(this);
  ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd));

  // check child windows first by calling CControlBar
  INT_PTR nHit = CWnd::OnToolHitTest(point, pTI);
  if (nHit != -1)
   return nHit;

  if (!IsHelpVisible() || !GetSelectedItem())
   return -1;

int nID = GetSelectedItem()->GetID();

CXTPClientRect rc(m_hWnd);
CRect rcHelp(rc.left, rc.bottom - m_nHelpHeight, rc.right, rc.bottom);

  if (rcHelp.PtInRect(point))
  {
   CXTPToolTipContext::FillInToolInfo(pTI, m_hWnd, rcHelp,
    nID, GetSelectedItem()->GetDescription(), GetSelectedItem()->GetCaption(), GetSelectedItem()->GetDescription());

   return nID;
  }

  return -1;
}

protected:
CXTPToolTipContext* m_pToolTipContext;
};

usage:

CPropertyGrid m_wndPropertyGrid;
