I have a CXTPToolBar that is manually attached to a CWnd housed in a docking pane. I can find no way to set a CXTPToolTipContext on the toolbar as the m_pToolTipContext member of CXTPCommandBar is protected.
In this case the m_pToolTipContext member is NULL and I would like to set the style to match the rest of my standard commandbars.

Can some way pleased be added to allow the m_pToolTipContext member to be set (and get).

you can create some CXTPCommandBars object :

m_pCommandBars = CXTPCommandBars ::CreateObject()

...

m_pCommandBars->InternalrRelease();

and assign it to this toolbar.

pT->SetCommandBars(m_pC);

Hi Oleg,

I tried your suggestion

int CDisplayPane::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
VERIFY(m_wndToolBar.CreateToolBar(WS_TABSTOP|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|CBRS_TOOLTIPS, this));

m_wndToolBar.SetButtons(Buttons,6);

CXTPCommandBars *pCommandBars = (CXTPCommandBars *)CXTPCommandBars::CreateObject();
CXTPToolTipContext* pToolTipContext = pCommandBars->GetToolTipContext();
pToolTipContext->SetStyle(xtpToolTipLuna);
pToolTipContext->ShowTitleAndDescription();
pToolTipContext->SetFont(m_pCommandBars->GetPaintManager()->GetIconFont());
pToolTipContext->ShowImage(true);

m_wndToolBar.SetCommandBars(m_pCommandBars);
pCommandBars->InternalRelease();

But this crashes in CalcDockingLayout

void CDisplayPane::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
CWnd::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);

int nTop = 0;

if (m_wndToolBar.GetSafeHwnd())
    {
    CSize sz = m_wndToolBar.CalcDockingLayout(cx, /*LM_HIDEWRAP|*/ LM_HORZDOCK|LM_HORZ | LM_COMMIT);

    m_wndToolBar.MoveWindow(0, nTop, cx, sz.cy);
    m_wndToolBar.Invalidate(FALSE);
    nTop += sz.cy;
    }

Any suggestions?

Hi Oleg,

I misunderstood part of your suggestion, I need to release the commandbar in the destructor.

This code works :)

CXTPCommandBars *m_pCommandBars = (CXTPCommandBars *)CXTPCommandBars::CreateObject();
CXTPToolTipContext* pToolTipContext = m_pCommandBars->GetToolTipContext();
pToolTipContext->SetStyle(xtpToolTipLuna);
pToolTipContext->ShowTitleAndDescription();

m_pCommandBars->SetSite(this);

m_wndToolBar.SetCommandBars(m_pCommandBars);
VERIFY(m_wndToolBar.CreateToolBar(WS_TABSTOP|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|CBRS_TOOLTIPS, this));
