Ever wanted a custom GUI tooltip with custom colors, icon and delay time?

Well everyone probably knows about the GUIToolTips UDF included with autoit but the lack of examples and documentation makes using it a hassle. (For me at least...)

Here I present a small UDF wrapper with one function designed as a wrapper for the udf to make it simple to add a custom tooltip without the need for various different calls to different functions to set a particular style for the tooltip.

I made it with the intention of being an alternative for GuiCtrlSetTip().

Example

AutoIt        expandcollapse  popup

#include <EasyTip.au3>

; GuiCtrlSetTip
GUICreate("Form1", 296, 170, -1, -1)
GUICtrlCreateButton("OEM", 8, 8, 81, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Test tip with just text.")
GUICtrlCreateButton("OEM 2", 8, 33, 81, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Test tip with text and title.","Optional title")
GUICtrlCreateButton("OEM 3", 8, 59, 81, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Test tip with text, title and Icon.","Optional title",1)
GUICtrlCreateButton("OEM 4", 8, 84, 81, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Test tip with text, title, Icon & balloon style.","Optional title",1,1)
GUICtrlCreateButton("OEM 5", 8, 109, 81, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Test tip with text, title, Icon & hovering under control.","Optional title",1,2)
GUICtrlCreateButton("OEM 6", 8, 135, 81, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Test tip with text, title, Icon & hovering under control with stem pointing to item.","Optional title",1,3)
