Tooltips not working/showing for gadgets inside a frame?

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can get tooltips to display even if the gadget with the tooltip (e.g. a button) is inside a frame?
Example: If I create a simple form with a button that has a tooltip, the tooltip will display just fine. If I then add a separate frame with a button inside, and that button has a tooltip, this 2nd tooltip does not show for the new button. For the 1st button outside the frame, the tooltip will still work.
In case it makes a difference, I am running Linux.
Thanks,
Nudgy

Hi @Nudgy. It should work if the frame has the
container flag applied:
Code: Select all
FrameGadget(0, 10, 10, 200, 100, "Frame", #PB_Frame_Container)
Tested and working on Ubuntu 24.10 with PureBasic v6.12.

Looks like a bug.
If you create the frame later it works.
Code: Select all
;-TOP
Procedure UpdateWindow()
Protected dx, dy
dx = WindowWidth(0)
dy = WindowHeight(0) - StatusBarHeight(0) - MenuHeight()
; Resize Gadgets
ResizeGadget(0, 10, 10, dx - 20, dy - 20)
EndProcedure
Procedure Main()
Protected dx, dy
#WinStyle = #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget
If OpenWindow(0, #PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore, 600, 400, "Test Window", #WinStyle)
; MenuBar
CreateMenu(0, WindowID(0))
MenuTitle("&File")
MenuItem(99, "E&xit")
; StatusBar
CreateStatusBar(0, WindowID(0))
AddStatusBarField(#PB_Ignore)
; Gadgets
dx = WindowWidth(0)
dy = WindowHeight(0) - StatusBarHeight(0) - MenuHeight()
;FrameGadget(0, 10, 10, dx - 20, dy -20, " Frame ", #PB_Frame_Container) ; <- ToolTip work
;FrameGadget(0, 10, 10, dx - 20, dy -20, " Frame ") ; <- ToolTip not work
ButtonGadget(1, 20, 30, 120, 25, "Button 1")
GadgetToolTip(1, "This is a button")
;CloseGadgetList()
FrameGadget(0, 10, 10, dx - 20, dy -20, " Frame ") ; <- ToolTip work
; Bind Events
BindEvent(#PB_Event_SizeWindow, @UpdateWindow(), 0)
; Main Loop
Repeat
Select WaitWindowEvent()
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Select EventWindow()
Case 0
Break
EndSelect
Case #PB_Event_Menu
Select EventMenu()
Case 99
PostEvent(#PB_Event_CloseWindow, 0, 0)
EndSelect
Case #PB_Event_Gadget
Select EventGadget()
EndSelect
EndSelect
ForEver
EndIf
EndProcedure : Main()

Thanks to both of you for your quick replies.
#PB_Frame_Container could be a temporary fix, but since I am mostly editing the form with the standard GUI form editor and that removes such custom edits/flags, I guess that I will have to keep my fingers crossed that the issue will be fixed in a future update.
Edit: Moving the frame creation code to the end as suggested by mksoft also seems to work and won't be modified by the GUI form editor.

Yes. The frame gadget is originally meant for UI aesthetics. Changing it to a container would really mess up the positioning of the
"containing" gadgets.
