Tooltip not consistent with multi-line Report Row.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a CXTPReportControl with Multi-line enabled.
m_rptMessages.GetPaintManager()->SetFixedRowHeight(FALSE);

When I add a row that has text with carriage returns in it, it displays correctly in the Report Control.

If I hover over it with my mouse, however, it shows a tooltip window that has all the text on one long line.

CXTPReportControl::OnMouseMove calls pRow->ShowToolTip(point, &m_wndTip);
CXTPReportRow::ShowTooltip calls pTipWnd->Activate(TRUE, IsPreviewItem || IsIconView);

My report has not enabled previews nor is it in Icon mode.  It's just doing multi-line text, so it results in passing false for the second parameter to Activate which appears to control whether tooltips are multiline.

Is there a way around this?  This appears to be a bug to me.

	To followup, you can repro this behavior in ReportSample by modifying ReportSampleView.cpp with the following changes: In AddSampleRecords, modify one of the subjects to have a \r\n in it: strSubject = _T("Comment Added: memory leak in OnEndEdit()?\r\nThis is very bad!"); In OnReportcontrolMultilinesample(): Comment out all the code that sets DT_WORDBREAK. Comment out setting m_bUseColumnTextAlignment = TRUE; Run App. make window small enough so that Subject gets truncated with "...". Hover over it, see there's a tooltip. Select "Report Control \| Multiline Sample". You should see your subject now go to two lines. Hover over it now. 2 problems: * Even though it's no longer truncated, there's still a tooltip. * The tooltip does not respect the \r\n, it's all on one line.
