Oh, haha, I didn't even notice it was two procedures. I just copied and pasted it without really reading it.

To make the tip text look a lot nicer, we can set the font!

LoadFont(#Font10B, "Arial Unicode MS Regular", 10, #PB_Font_HighQuality | #PB_Font_Bold)
SendMessage_(iToolTipID, #WM_SETFONT, FontID(#FONT10B), #True)

I like this thread

Tried to summarize all functions into one code (still in two procedures, sorry) - just to have all parts to play around with:

Code: Select all

	; Icon from DataSection (icon format):
	; DataSection // IconA: // IncludeBinary "Data\IconA.ico" // IconB: // IncludeBinary "Data\IconB.ico" // ... // EndDataSection
	; Enumeration #IconA // #IconB // ... // EndEnumeration
	; Global Dim IconTable(2) // IconTable(#IconA)=?IconA // ...

Hit a problem!

A Tool Window over the Main Window - the Tool Window's balloon tips are displayed behind it

Does anyone know of a fix?

I have tried:

Code: Select all

SetWindowPos_(iToolTipID, #HWND_TOP, 0, 0, #Null, #Null, #SWP_NOSIZE | #SWP_NOACTIVATE)

Code: Select all

Procedure BlnToolTip(iWin.i, iGadget.i, sTip.s)

Protected ToolInfo.TOOLINFO
Protected iFrontColour.i = RGB(008, 008, 008)
Protected  iBackColour.i = RGB(246, 249, 165)

                  iToolTipID = CreateWindowEx_(0, "Tooltips_Class32", "", #TTS_NOPREFIX|#TTS_BALLOON, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

               SetWindowTheme_(iToolTipID, "", "")
                  SendMessage_(iToolTipID, #WM_SETFONT, FontID(#FONT10B), #True)
                  SendMessage_(iToolTipID, #TTM_SETTIPTEXTCOLOR, iFrontColour, 0)  ;Set the tip text colour and balloon tip outline
                  SendMessage_(iToolTipID, #TTM_SETTIPBKCOLOR, iBackColour, 0) ;Set the tip background colour

                    ToolInfo\cbSize = SizeOf(TOOLINFO)
                    ToolInfo\uFlags = #TTF_IDISHWND|#TTF_SUBCLASS ;#TTF_CENTERTIP ;TTF_RTLREADING

                       ToolInfo\uId = GadgetID(iGadget)
                  ToolInfo\lpszText = @sTip

                  SendMessage_(iToolTipID, #TTM_SETDELAYTIME, #TTDT_INITIAL, 100)
                  SendMessage_(iToolTipID, #TTM_SETDELAYTIME, #TTDT_AUTOPOP, 30000)

Hi IdeasVacuum
Try

Code: Select all

iToolTipID = CreateWindowEx_(0,"ToolTips_Class32","",#WS_POPUP | #TTS_NOPREFIX | #TTS_BALLOON,0,0,0,0,GadgetID,0,GetModuleHandle_(0),0)

Hi Rashad - that worked a treat

Posted: **Tue Dec 17, 2019 1:48 am**

Hit another issue

If the User changes the program's language, my code uses the Procedure I posted to update the Tool Tip Balloon text. To my surprise, the original tip is not overwritten - instead, another Balloon is added.

I see where my error is - for each gadget, a new WindowEx is created. So I'm going to record the ID and try using a separate Procedure to change the text.
