Guys
As far as I can see, most of the controls do not correctly display tooltip text when using unicode strings....
So for example (in pseudocode)
PushButton1.Caption = Some Japanese text ..... Works well
whereas
PushButton1.ToolTipText = Some Japanese text ..... DOES NOT
The only control that seems to work correctly is the Tab.... every other standard control I have tested will not display unicode Japanese, Chinese etc tips and just displays ????????? etc .. i.e the same as the standard MS stuff that I am replacing!
Is there some trick to getting this working or is it a bug/omission?
Thanks
Julian

Hi,
"ToolTipText" is standard VB property that added and implemented by VB. :-(
Agree, we need add alternative with Unicode support.

Hi Oleg Thanks for the reply.... At least I know its not me... I tend to use ToolTipText all the time to give our Users extra info when they hover over controls.... TBH its a little disapointing that this isn't supported in controls advertised as 'unicode' Is there some way I can request this feature is added in future updates? Its probably better for me to 'turn off' my ToolTips for now because it will just generate support calls from our International customers complaining that our code 'doesn't work' |

Ok Done it.......
Or rather, I have found a very cool 3rd party tooltip OCX that works really well with the CJ controls and fully supports unicode
$35 .... bargain and not worth me writing my own
Probably not appropriate to name names but I can if it ok with the MODS
Very happy
Julian

I also want Unicode tooltips.
Strange that a Unicode package like this does not support Unicode in tooltips. David |
