Board index » Visual Studio » dialog tooltips

Visual Studio164
Hi,

I'm trying to have tooltips in my dialog.

I did the following:

1. added EnableToolTips(true) in the OnInitDialog().

2. Added ON_NOTIFY_EX(TTN_NEEDTEXT, 0, OnToolTipNeedText) in the dialog's

message map.

3. addded the function OnToolTipNeedText in the dialog's class and set there

a breakpoint



The problem was that I never reached the breakpoint.

Did I forget something?

Ram.

Read the help page for EnableToolTips. Pay attention to the message maps

entries they have in the sample code.

Hi Ram,



Thanks for posting in group!



Based on Ali's recommended MSDN documentation, I think you can easily get

ToolTips appeared on your dialog's control:

_MFC_CWnd.3a3a.EnableToolTips.asp





BTW, I also found 2 related sample projects in the www.codeproject.com:

http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/tooltips.asp?target" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.codeproject.com/dialog/tooltips.asp=tooltips



Hope it helps!

Hi,

Eventually, I was able to show tooltips in my dialog. I used

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">support.microsoft.com/default.aspx=kb;en-us;135873&Product=vcc



and it worked.

The problem now is that I cannot display multilines in my tooltips.

I read and found that if I add '\r\n':

rt = m_pTooltip->AddTool(this, "first line\r\nseond line");



But it didn't have any effect - the string was displayed in one line.

I tried to find something that sets the tooltip to multiline but I didn't

find.

Do you have any idea?

Ram.

Hi Ram,



You also can try the TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH message to force the tooltip

control to display multiple lines.
