Modeless Dlg Tooltips sans F

G'day!
No joy, I'm afraid.

1)  "OnToolHitTest()" doesn't get invoked in the ToolBarCtrl,
the dialog that owns it, or the MainFrame.

2)  I can find no TTN_ALWAYSTIP in my 4.1 MVC, but there is a TTS_ and a

TTF_ defined.  Adding these singly & in combination, e.g.,


ok=m_pBar->Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE |
                  CCS _NOPARENTALIGN|CCS_NORESIZE|
                  TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS|TBSTYLE_WRAPABLE|TTF_ALWAYSTIP,
                  rectBar,this,IDR_LINES);

had no effect.

Thanks for consideration.
Jim LW

Jim,

        Enable the TTN_ALWAYSTIP attribute for ToolTips.

Try to overwrite the OnToolHitTest() function.
Inside the function, use ChildWindowFromPoint() to get a CWnd* pointer.
It
will ensure you get one no matter if it has the focus. Then display your
tooltip.
This worked in my App Bar application.
Hope this help.

With a CToolBarCtrl you should use TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS style for creation
and handle OnNotify() for tooltips. Although you won't have tooltips when it 
doesn't
have the focus, this seems to be the standard (aka MSVC, IE 3.1).
Note this is #defined in commctrl.h to be 0x100 [line 534].

Eg:
YourCToolBarDerivedClass::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* 
pResult)
{
 NMHDR* pNMHDR       = (NMHDR*)lParam;
 LPTOOLTIPTEXTA TTextA = (LPTOOLTIPTEXTA)lParam;
 LPTOOLTIPTEXTW TTextW = (LPTOOLTIPTEXTW)lParam;
 if(pNMHDR->code == TTN_NEEDTEXTA || pNMHDR->code == TTN_NEEDTEXTW){
 }
}

In your case, you're using TTF_ALWAYSTIP as a style bit. That flag should be 
used
only for the TOOLINFO::uFlags structure. What you might of done is
use 
YourCToolBarCtrl::SetToolInfo(&ti);
making sure you set ti.uFalgs to TTF_ALWAYSTIP.

I guess it can get confusing. You got
CBRS_TOOLTIPS              // Use for CToolBar creation         [afxres.h]
TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS      // Use for CToolBarCtrl creation  [commctrl.h]
TTS_ALWAYSTIP             //  [winres.h] ??
TTF_ALWAYSTIP             //  Use with CToolBarCtrl::SetToolInfo()  [afxwin.h]

G'day!
I takes me hat off to you, Mario.  You're a better man than I.
Throwing the TTF ALWAYSTIP into the CToolBarCtrl::Create() was
more in hope than anticipation.  I'd chucked Get/SetToolInfo
into the Too-Hard basket because the Documentation starts off

BOOL GetToolInfo( LPTOOLINFO lpToolInfo, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nIDTool = 0)
                                                          ^^^^^^^
Return Value
Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.
Parameters
lpToolInfo   Pointer to a TOOLINFO structure.
pWnd         Pointer to the window that contains the tool.
nIDText   ID of the string resource that contains the text for the tool.
^^^^^^^
and then it gets confusing.  Follow the instructions by defining a
TOOLINFO and you get

error C2664: 'GetToolInfo' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'struct
tagTOOLINFOA' to 'class CToolInfo &' (new behavior; please see help)

So I've pressed on:  code-slab follows.  But you still have to click
somewhere on the damn dialog for the tips to become available.

How DID you get this thing to work????

Yours in extreme puzzlement,
Jim LW

    // same order as in the bitmap 'fredtoolbar.bmp'
    ID_BUTTON_1,
    ID_BUTTON_2,

};

    return ok;
}
