Confirmed on Win7 x86 - very odd.

Same here with Win10 release 1909.

...you can use Win API to control the tooltips. See:

With "enable modern theme support" unchecked, the tooltip flickers in StringGadgets and SpinGadgets, but not in CheckBoxGadgets and some other gadgets.

If i enable this support, all tooltips are ok, no flickering. Unfortunately i have problems with certain gadgets regarding fonts with this support enabled. I would like to stay on the unchecked option.

I use PB 5.71 x64.

Any idea how to avoid the flickering ?

... might be easier to fix the fonts problem. What is the problem with fonts?

Tooltips not showing when "enable modern theme support" is unchecked.

They show here on Win 10 (1903) with both modern theme enabled or disabled, and PureBasic 5.71 (x86).

They show here on Win 10 (1903) with both modern theme enabled or disabled, and PureBasic 5.71 (x86).

I could isolate the problem: My old Lenovo X200T with Win10 Pro 1909 shows the tooltips without flickering and modern theme disabled. My newer Lenovo MIIX 720 has a high resolution screen with 2880x1920 pixel. I have to use the scale of 200% for text and apps, otherwise the items are extremly small. The test application shows the flickering with modern theme disabled only with the scale 200%. If i change to 100% - tooltips are ok.

Any idea to fix that ?

Here my small test application:

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 50, 50, 600, 400, "Test")

SpinGadget(10,20,20,60,20,0,100,#PB_Spin_Numeric|#ES_RIGHT)
SetGadgetState(10,33)
GadgetToolTip(10,"SpinGadget 10")

CheckBoxGadget(20,20,50,100,20,"CheckBoxGadget")
GadgetToolTip(20,"CheckBoxGadget 20")

StringGadget(30,20,80,120,14,"Test")
GadgetToolTip(30,"StringGadget 30")

Repeat
  EventID = WaitWindowEvent(1) 
Until EventID = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

... is DPI aware selected in Compiler options?

... is DPI aware selected in Compiler options?

The flickering is there independant of this option with modern theme disabled.

Don't forget bullet point #1 here -> viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4701

Have you tested this "bug" with 5.71 yet? If not, why not?

I used this thread, because the topic is the same and the problem is not solved, as it looks like. I make all the tests with the newest release 5.71.

Do you mean: Callback funtion of the StringGadget ?

I'm not so familiar with these things.

The text is not completely visible with the option enabled.
