Hello,

Is there a way to set a tooltip Text for the CXTPControlComboBox ListBox ?
Not a LabelTip.

Hallo,

Found solution

class CExControlComboBoxList : public CXTPControlComboBoxList
{
public:
    void CreateListBox() { __super::CreateListBox(); };

    virtual ~CExControlComboBoxList()
    {
        if (m_pToolTipContext)
            CMDTARGET_RELEASE(m_pToolTipContext);
    }

    void InitTooltip(LPCTSTR lpTitle)
    {
        m_ToolTipContext.ModifyToolTipStyle(TTS_NOPREFIX, 0);
        m_ToolTipContext.ShowImage(FALSE);
        SetTooltipTitle(lpTitle);

        m_pToolTipContext = &m_ToolTipContext;
        CMDTARGET_ADDREF(m_pToolTipContext);
    }
    void SetTooltipTitle(LPCTSTR lpTitle)
    {
        if (lpTitle && *lpTitle)
        {
            m_strTitle = lpTitle;
            m_ToolTipContext.ShowTitleAndDescription(TRUE);
        }
        else
            m_ToolTipContext.ShowTitleAndDescription(FALSE);
    }
    virtual INT_PTR OnToolHitTest(CPoint point, TOOLINFO* pTI) const
    {
        int iSel = GetCurSel();
        if (iSel >= 0)
        {
            CString strText;
            GetText(iSel, strText);
            TSSMap::const_iterator itr = m_mapTooltipText.find(strText);
            if (itr != m_mapTooltipText.end())
            {
                CXTPToolTipContext::FillInToolInfo(pTI, m_hWnd, CRect(0,0,200,50), iSel, itr->second, m_strTitle, itr->second, NULL);
                return iSel;
            }
        }
        return -1;
    }
    void AddTooltipText(const CString& strText, const CString& strTooltip)
    {
        m_mapTooltipText[strText] = strTooltip;
    }
    CXTPToolTipContext *GetToolTipContext() {
        return m_pToolTipContext;
    }
protected:
    typedef std::map<CString,CString> TSSMap;
    TSSMap m_mapTooltipText;
    CXTPToolTipContext m_ToolTipContext;
    CString m_strTitle;
};

class CExControlComboBox : public CXTPControlComboBox
{
public:
    CExControlComboBox()
    {
        if (m_pCommandBar)
            m_pCommandBar->InternalRelease();

        m_pCommandBar = new CExControlComboBoxList();
        GetExControlList()->CreateListBox();
    };

    CExControlComboBoxList *GetExControlList()    { return ((CExControlComboBoxList*)m_pCommandBar); }

    CXTPToolTipContext *GetToolTipContext() {
        GetExControlList()->GetToolTipContext();
    }
    void InitTooltip(LPCTSTR lpTitle = NULL) {
        GetExControlList()->InitTooltip(lpTitle);
    }
    void AddString(const CString& strText, const CString& strTooltip)
    {
        GetExControlList()->AddTooltipText(strText, strTooltip);
        __super::AddString(strText);
    }
    DECLARE_XTP_CONTROL(CExControlComboBox)
};

IMPLEMENT_XTP_CONTROL(CExControlComboBox, CXTPControlComboBox)

And in OnCreateControl

            CExControlComboBox* pComboUrl = (CExControlComboBox*)CExControlComboBox::CreateObject();
            pComboUrl->InitTooltip("Title");
            pComboUrl->AddString(_T("http://www.codejock.com"), "Mein Tooltip 1");
            pComboUrl->AddString(_T("ms-help://MS.VSCC/vsccCommon/html/vsccCommon_Start_Page.htm"), "Mein Tooltip 2" );

But some questions.

1) Better solution to store info Tooltiptext / Entry (i don't like use SetItemData)

2) Tooltip only show inside red border and wrong tooltip is show on green line position.

3) Can you add this function to new version ?

4) What can i make better inthis solution ?

Hi,

Nice solution.

May be only need add

DECLARE_XTP_COMMANDBAR/IMPLEMENT_XTP_COMMANDBAR for List

and instead predefined CRect(0,0,200,50), use

CRect rc;
GetListBoxCtrl()->GetItemRect(iSel, rc);

Think also need to add Save/Load tooltips for customization. See DOPropExchange method.

2 entrys (green line).
