Hi;

Using toolkit v 10.3.1 I created a CXTPControlComboBox control as found in the samples section of the toolkit, but I'm unable to set the tooltip text to something different than the caption/label of the control. The code in OnCreateControl() function looks like:

CXTPControlComboBox* pComboFind = (CXTPControlComboBox*)CXTPControlComboBox::CreateObject();

pComboFind->SetDropDownListStyle();

pComboFind->SetWidth(180);

CString strPrompt;

VERIFY(strPrompt.LoadString(ID_PROCESSEXPLORER_SEARCH));

pComboFind->SetStyle(xtpComboLabel);

pComboFind->SetCaption(strPrompt);

VERIFY(strPrompt.LoadString(ID_PROCESSEXPLORER_SEARCHTIP));

pComboFind->SetTooltip(strPrompt);

pComboFind->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);

pComboFind->SetEnabled(TRUE);

The tip is always the same as specified in the call to SetCaption().

What am I doing wrong?

Martin

Hi, you all do right.

Problem that later pComboFind->SetID([Id]) will be called and Tooltip text will be replaced from string table. As workaround call

pComboFind->SetID([Id]) before pComboFind->SetTooltip.
