| Seems like a simple item, but how do I set the text and display a tooltip when I hover over the panes of a CXTPStatusBar control? Looks like I can use "GetPane(x)->SetTooltip( )", but I don't ever see the tooltip - what do I have to call to enable it to popup? |

Hm. strange.
I opened Customthemes sample, added
m_wndStatusBar.GetPane(1)->SetTooltip("hi");
and see tooltip under "CAP" item...

How about adding a tooltip to the icon in the StatusBar sample? ------------- Simon HB9DRV |

The "adding tooltip to the icon" issue is closer to what we have. I too can see tooltips if I just use SetIndicators to create the items, but we are placing buttons onto the status bar with code that looks like the following...
if ( wndButtonOut.Create( "", WS_CHILD, CRect(0,0,0,0), this, IDTR_OutputSetButton ) )
{ wndButtonOut.SetFontEx( GetFont() ); AddIndicator( IDTR_OutputSetButton, 1 ); int nIndex = CommandToIndex( IDTR_OutputSetButton ); if ( nIndex != -1 ) { SetPaneWidth( nIndex, 60 ); wndButtonOut.SetXButtonStyle( BS_XT_XPFLAT | BS_XT_HILITEPRESSED, TRUE ); AddControl( &wndButtonOut, IDTR_OutputSetButton, FALSE ); } } It works fine to create the buttons, and everything works, except that the tooltips don't show, just like the tooltips for the icon in StatusBar.

Don't use CXTPStatusBarIconPane/CXTPStatusBarLogoPane they are quite obsolete.
Here code you can use instead:
int iIndex = m_wndStatusBar.GetPaneCount();
CXTPStatusBarPane* pPane = m_wndStatusBar.AddIndicator(ID_INDICATOR_ICON, iIndex); m_wndStatusBar.GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_STATUS_ICON, IDR_STATUS_ICON);
pPane->SetIconIndex(IDR_STATUS_ICON); pPane->SetText(NULL); pPane->BestFit(); pPane->SetTooltip(_T("Icon")); Need to update sample :( ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

We are placing a CAnimateCtrl on a CXTPStatusBar with a style of ACS_TRANSPARENT using the AddControl function. Is there a way to do this so the control will have theme support? Currently the ACS_TRANSPARENT color shows up as gray instead of the theme color. |
