Tooltips

At first, I thought the problem was that you were not calling ttip.Activate(TRUE), but that was not the case. Then I tried many combinations of options in the AddTool function to no avail. What bothers me the most is that ToolTips, I thought, was only supposed to be used for ToolBars, not just any control. Doesn't that go against the design guide? To date, I've not seen any applications with tooltips on anything other than a toolbar. With all the little problems I've encountered, I'm a little gun-shy of MSVC 2.1 and I'm hoping 2.2 will resolve alot of problems. Gary_Shank@dublin.sterling.com Sterling Software

According to some of the MS people at the recent Tech-ED Europe, you can expect to see tooltips used with the tabs at the top of property pages. You are right though, I haven't seen any apps that do this yet either. It might be interesting to see if any of the applets that are part of Windows 95 do.

Jim Tannenbaum -- jimt1@voicenet.com Monday, September 16, 1996 Environment: VC++ 4.0, Win 95, NT 4.0 Hello All, I am trying to help an off site coworker w/o 'net access, so please forgive me if this sounds a little confused... He wants to enable the TTN_ALWAYSTIP attribute of the default tool tip mechanism for various controls in a dialog box. We both read the MSDN Library documentation. It looks fairly straight forward to dynamically add a control to the tool tip class and enable the attribute at that time. However, he wants to be able to get the handle/hwnd of the tool tip class and just add that attribute to it. He has used spy++ and discovered that sometimes the tool tip is a child of his dialog box and sometimes it is a sibling. The TTN_ALWAYSTIP attribute enables the tool tip mechanism to display a tool tip for a control, even if the window containing the control is not active. This prevents him for waiting for a notify message from the control (which would give him a pointer to it) and adding the attribute at that time.
