Activates or deactivates a tracking ToolTip
#include <GuiToolTip.au3>
_GUIToolTip_TrackActivate ( $hWnd [, $bActivate = True [, $hTool = 0 [, $iID = 0]]] )
| $hWnd | Handle to the ToolTip control (returned by _GUIToolTip_Create.) |
| $bActivate | [optional] True to activate, False to deactivate |
| $hTool | [optional] Handle to the window that contains the tool |
| $iID | [optional] Control handle that the tool is assigned to, or application-defined identifier of the tool |
You must use this function to activate a tracking tooltip prior to attempting to update its position using _GUIToolTip_TrackPosition()
If you use _GUIToolTip_TrackPosition() without using _GUIToolTip_TrackActivate() then the tool will only display when the mouse if over the assigned window or control, if applicable.
