v1.1 for PB4.20 & 4.30

You can customize the default PB tooltip display and behaviour. ( without creating a new one )
convert it to balloon tooltip

Code: Select all

Hi Eddy, good examples. Always good to see more ways of doing this and I have been doing something similar for one program that does sql queries for addresses.

By the way, you have a minor syntax error on this line.

CreateTooltipManager(1,#True,#PB_Ignore,$66FFCC,"QuickHelp#TOOLTIPM_WARNING_ICON)

Should be.

CreateTooltipManager(1,#True,#PB_Ignore,$66FFCC,"QuickHelp", #TOOLTIPM_WARNING_ICON)

I do this all the time. Miracle that I can type at all:)

EndEnumeration

Just a tip: if you're going to assign numeric values to a constant like that, then wrapping them in Enumeration isn't needed. Enumeration is for when you're NOT assigning a value.

[ Updated ]
- remove useless global variables
- UseTooltipManager simplified

Code: Select all

success.b = UseTooltipManager(ID) ;Use specific TooltipManager, returns true if success 

UseTooltipManager() ;Use default purebasic TooltipManager

Great! Very Useful!

Post by **Fred** » Sun May 18, 2008 9:51 pm

The callback provided to EnumWindows_() doesn't look right..

eddy · Post by **eddy** » Sun May 18, 2008 11:07 pm

yes... It's perhaps the reason why this code does not compile with PB v4.20 Beta2.

I tried to reduce the size of code, but in the original version there's 3 functions

ricardo · Post by **ricardo** » Fri May 30, 2008 6:02 pm

Dont works in PB 4.20
