Is it possible to enable Tooltips on the sub menu of a control on the Ribbon?

I tried to find a sample, but couldn't. In the CommandBar RibbonMDISample project, the Save button has a tooltip and has a sub-menu, but the child controls (Save and SaveAs) do not have tooltips.

CXTPRibbonBar* pRibbonBar = (CXTPRibbonBar*)GetCommandBars()->Add(_T("The Ribbon"), xtpBarTop, RUNTIME_CLASS(CXTPRibbonBar));

CXTPRibbonTab* pTabHome = pRibbonBar->AddTab(ID_TAB_HOME);

CXTPRibbonGroup* pGroupFile = pTabHome->AddGroup(ID_GROUP_FILE);



CXTPControlPopup* pControlSave = (CXTPControlPopup*)pGroupFile->Add(xtpControlSplitButtonPopup, ID_FILE_SAVE);

pControlSave->SetDescription(_T("A tooltip is created with this text in it"));



CXTPControlButton* pControlSaveBtn= (CXTPControlButton*)pControlSave->GetCommandBar()->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_SAVE);

pControlSaveBtn->SetDescription(_T("No tooltip is made for this text"));

With the above code, the pControlSave control would have a tooltip, but not the pControlSaveBtn one.

Hi,

Call pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bShowPopupBarToolTips = TRUE;
