[Possible bug?] GadgetToolTip - add newlines support for it

[Korolev Michael]

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0,0,0,200,100,"test",#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SystemMenu)
ButtonGadget(0,10,10,80,25,"test")
GadgetToolTip(0,~"test tip\nNewline")

Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent(50)=#PB_Event_CloseWindow

I get only one line
#CRLF$ solution doesn't work too.

The 'alternative' is only for Windows OS.

It's easy enough to cook your own using a hidden gadget or window.

Seems to work fine on OSX.
It shows a multiline tooltip.

Windows OS only:
Balloon Tooltip
Fancy Windows ToolTips

+1 for built-in "newline" support in tooltips on all platforms where PB is running

+1 for tooltips with built-in "newline" support on all platforms

Seems to work fine on OSX.

If it works on OSX, may it be possible bug?

+1 for tooltips with built-in "newline" support on all platforms!

[Shardik]

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0,0,0,200,100,"test",#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SystemMenu)
ButtonGadget(0,10,10,80,25,"test")
GadgetToolTip(0,~"test tip\nNewline")

Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent(50)=#PB_Event_CloseWindow

The newline support in tooltips only doesn't work in Windows. Michael Korolev's example is already working fine on Linux (tested on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 with KDE and PB 5.41 x64) and MacOS X (tested on OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) with PB 5.41 x86).

So +1 for a Windows implementation in PB...

Some further links to multiline tooltip workarounds for Windows:
- Display multiline tooltip using maximum tip width (netmaestro)
- Display multiline tooltip using #CR$ (Shardik, extending an example from netmaestro)
- Display multiline tooltip using maximum tip width or #CRLF$ (inSANE)

+1 for tooltips with built-in "newline" support on all platforms!

+1

(especially as "only" a native PB solution for Windows is still needed, while Linux/MacOS are already working)
