I managed to modify the tooltip context for my report control, but not its records. It seems items still have that ugly standard tooltip style.

How do I fix this?

Hi,

it already supports tooltipcontext:

m_wndReport.GetToolTipContext().

Yes, but only for the headers etc. If I put CXTPReportRecordItem in my records, their tooltip is not skinned.

I use the ribbon theme and 2007-style for the tooltip of the report control. If the text of my items is "compressed" I see this ugly win95-tooltip when I hover the item.

For instance; my item has the text "This is a long story about a report item which shows an ugly tooltip." and since the column is 100 pixels wide I only see "This is a long story...". Now, if I hover this text I see that ugly Win95-tooltip with the complete string.

Most certainly a bug since I did indeed change the tooltip context.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Call pItem->SetToolTip(..) to set some tooltip.

That won't solve it. Let me explain the issue in detail.

Premises:
1) I'm running Windows XP SP2, Classic style.

2) I have set a 2007-tooltip context in my report control.

3) The tooltips of the actual control do indeed have the 2007-style.

Bug:

When I resize a column so that a text is compressed. That is, "Hello world!" becomes "Hell..." and I put the mouse cursor over this item, the tooltip is not skinned!

Hi,

What version do you have ? Did you call SetToolTip for this Hello world item ?

I have 11.20 and I did not call SetToolTip.

Hello,

if you don't call SetToolTip used standard tip. if you call - used Themed with delay.

That seems odd. If I explicitly set the tooltip context I expect the report control not to show any standard tooltips. Are you sure this is not a design flaw?

Yes, I sure.
