Are the tooltips still not implemented as in Office 2007?

Thanks,

Ivan

Hi,

Ok. it works by setting the ToolTipContext.

The ToolTipContext is the window where tooltips are draw. Where in the ribbon individual control properties do I set the title, description, image and help link?

Sorry I didn't check that it is ActiveX forum... (was answered fro MFC users)

For ActiveX:

ControlNew = GroupPages.Add(xtpControlSplitButtonPopup, ID_PAGES_NEW, "&New Page")
ControlCover.DescriptionText = "Insert a fully-formatted cover page. You fill in the title, author, date, and other information."
