Topic: How to dynamically update CXTPTooltipContext

Subject: How to dynamically update CXTPTooltipContext

Hi;

I want to use CXTPTooltipContext to display tooltips in my own CWnd derived class. The window has content that is updated in OnTimer() functions while a tooltip is visible. The tooltip should reflect the changes made to the window.

I was looking for something like SetTooltipText() but could not find any function like that.

So, does anyone know how to dynamically change the content of the tooltip while the tip window is visible?

Hi,

You can try to override it, and call

ti.lpszText ==..;

m_pToolTip->SendMessage(TTM_UPDATETIPTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)&ti);
m_pToolTip->Invaidate(FALSE);

but it will not resize tooltip to match new text.

Hi Oleg,

thanks for your reply! But now, could you give me a hint, how I could resize the tip window to react on different text lengths?

Afraid only to modify sources.

see fow CXTPToolTipContextToolTip::SetVisibleTool method works.

Hi Oleg;

modifying source is always very bad when updates come in mind.

Nevertheless I'll give your suggestions a try. Perhaps I have to write my own tooltip window class and forgo your classes.

Perhaps you could put this issue on your internal feature request list?
