Hi everyone!

I often see questions like this: "How i can change the tooltip text and background colors?", "How i can change the tooltip font size and font name?", "How to create a custom tooltip?"

And i became interesting about possibility to create a custom tooltip. This possible.

_GUIToolTip_xxxx

Could use some examples for the UDFs that are already included with AutoIt.

[Andreik]

Very useful UDF. Thanks rasim!

[Jango]

Is it possible to do rounded tooltip ?

Yes, but UDF from the help file don`t contain examples.

Baloon style? Yes, use a _ToolTip_SetBaloonStyle() function to set a baloon tip.

Must be an echo or I don't speak plain enough English.

Ok. Please show me understandable example from GuiToolTip.au3 or from the help file. If you think that my UDF is wrong and unnecessary - this is your right. Instead of sarcasm you can show me errors in my code or give advice about improving code. Thank you! Edited June 7, 2008 by rasim

All I was stating (which you repeated, thus the sarcasm) was that the UDFs are already there in a include file, they just need examples.

If you want to re-write them again thats up to you. Was just trying to save you time.

There are plenty of UDFs that don't have examples that anyone could contribute examples for.

I've contributed plenty of examples/UDFs and at the moment not planning on creating anymore.

Nope...

_ToolTip_SetBkColor($Input, "0xFF0000")

This one not working properly.

You need to convert to number before the _RGB2BGR() function:

Func _ToolTip_SetTextColor($hControl, $sColor)
    If Not $sColor Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    $sColor = Number($sColor)
    
    If $hToolTip = False Then $hToolTip = _ToolTip_Create()
    If Not IsHWnd($hControl) Then $hControl = GUICtrlGetHandle($hControl)
    
    Local $iElement = _FindControl($hControl)
    $aTextColor[$iElement] = _RGB2BGR($sColor)
EndFunc

[rasim]

Yes, you are right. Fixed. Updated first post. Thank you my friend!

But how can i obtain this effect : Some Text : Another Text in the ToolTip ?!

Maybe this link will be useful to create more complex ToolTip control.

See there about two advanced messages:

# TTM_SETTOOLINFO: Associate the specified tool with the specified TOOLINFO structure.

# TTM_GETTOOLINFO: Gets the TOOLINFO structure associated with the specified tool.

I try to test this UDF. I got error message when run the example: line 9 in ToolTip_UDF : Can not redeclare a constat

I deleted this line, seems work now and i like it.

My question is how can i use _ToolTip_SetBaloonStyle() function.

I got another error messages when i tryed to use : variable used without being declared

The variable is : $GWL_STYLE

I think this is a great UDF, it's worth to update

Comment out line 9 (Global Const $TTDT_AUTOPOP = 2) and add #include <WinAPIConstants.au3> somewhere at the top and it should work.

Btw, rasim is not active since 02/2009!
