_GUICtrlIpAddress VS GUICtrlSetTip

[dongaman]

Any clue will be appreciated。。。

BTW，THIS is my first topic in forums。

Welcome to the forums

Thats becouse its not a standard autoit control. Try _GUIToolTip_Create, I haven't yet, but I think that it will work in a similar way. There seems to be a complete lack of examples in the helpfile for the _GUITooltip_* functions, which is rather unusual, so sorry for that.

Thanx

So,is below methods right?

_GUIToolTip_Create

_GUIToolTip_Activate

_GUIToolTip_Destroy

After search all the forums, I can not find the way that make GuiToolTip worked?

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiIPAddress.au3>
#Include <GuiToolTip.au3>

$hgui = GUICreate("IP Address Example", 300, 200)

$hIPAddress = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create($hgui, 10, 10)
;WinSetState($hIPAddress, "", @SW_DISABLE)
_GUICtrlIpAddress_Set($hIPAddress, "24.168.2.128")

$hTool = _GUIToolTip_Create(GUICtrlGetHandle($hIPAddress))
MsgBox(0,"",_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hTool,$hgui, "sadfasdddddddddd"))

_GUIToolTip_Activate($hTool,True)
MsgBox(0,"",_GUIToolTip_GetText($hgui,GUICtrlGetHandle($hIPAddress), 0))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Do

Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

I can't seem to get it to work either. I have tried everything, including taking an MSDN example and converting it to autoit and _WinApi_CreateWindowEx etc. with no success.

Hey! I worked for quite a while getting this to the stage that it now returns true. Doesn't work though!

    DllStructSetData($tToolInfo, "lpszText", $pText)
    _SendMessage($hwndTip, $TTM_ADDTOOL, 0, $tToolInfo)

    Return True
EndFunc   ;==>CreateToolTip

based on this code:

expandcollapse popup

{
    // toolID:  the resource ID of the control.
    // hDlg:    the handle of the dialog box.

    // g_hInst: the global instance handle.
    
    if (!toolID || !hDlg || !pText)
    {
        return FALSE;
    }
    // Get the window of the tool.
    HWND hwndTool = GetDlgItem(hDlg, toolID);
    
    // Create the tooltip.
    HWND hwndTip = CreateWindowEx(NULL, TOOLTIPS_CLASS, NULL,
                              WS_POPUP |TTS_ALWAYSTIP | TTS_BALLOON,
                              CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
                              CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
                              hDlg, NULL, 
                              g_hInst, NULL);
                              
   if (!hwndTool || !hwndTip)
   {
       return FALSE;
   }                              
                              
    // Associate the tooltip with the tool.
    TOOLINFO toolInfo = { 0 };
    toolInfo.cbSize = sizeof(toolInfo);
    toolInfo.hwnd = hDlg;
    toolInfo.uFlags = TTF_IDISHWND | TTF_SUBCLASS;
    toolInfo.uId = (UINT_PTR)hwndTool;
    toolInfo.lpszText = pText;
    SendMessage(hwndTip, TTM_ADDTOOL, 0, (LPARAM)&toolInfo);

    return TRUE;
}

I learnt a fair bit... But how to make those tooltips work is not one of them.

OOOOOOOOOOOh my god.Your answer is 'no answer'

Following advice from Geosoft to James3mg in another thread today, try using ToolTip instead.

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiIPAddress.au3>

Global $Struct = DllStructCreate($tagPoint)
$hgui = GUICreate("IP Address Example", 300, 200)

$hIPAddress = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create($hgui, 10, 10)
$wh = ControlGetPos($hgui, "", $hIPAddress)
_GUICtrlIpAddress_Set($hIPAddress, "24.168.2.128")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)
Do
    $mp = MouseGetPos()
    If $mp[0] < $wh[0] Or $mp[0] > $wh[2] Or $mp[1] < $wh[1] Or $mp[1] > $wh[3]+8 Then
    ToolTip("")
    Else
    $savemm = Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1)
    $mp = MouseGetPos()
    ToolTip("blah Blah", $mp[0], $mp[1] - 20)
    Opt("MouseCoordMode", $savemm)
    EndIf


Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

To Mat: M$DN did not give me any useful clue. Follow msdn's code can not make tooltip works

To martin: thanx your code. This may the compromise，ultimate way

Anyhow，thank you all the guys
