Multiple ToolTips Not Displaying..?

[cypher175]

I have 150 AU3.EXE Processes running simultaneously that Tooltip the Info that they process.

But it seems that only a certain amount of tooltips are allowed to be shown at any given time, so im wondering if this a setting or flaw withing autoit or windows xp..?

Anybody know..?

I'm having a problem with having multiple AutoIt processes tooltiping their infos all at the same time..

I have 200 AU3 processes, and only about 100 of them are able to tooltip at any given time, the rest just show up as blank shadows..?

So I was wondering if it would be possible at all to have all these 200 processes report their info to some main GUI process that lists/updates all their info inside of it..?

Would it be feasible at all to do something like this or is there some other better way to accomplish this task..?

200 now? it was 150 a short while ago

How about showing the info all in one tooltip, thats if you are fond of tooltips, personally I'd use a gui and lables or edit control or some other gui element.

@cypher175, So why are you being impatient again?

Believe you have been warned about this before.

how could I do it so they all report into one GUI..?

For each tooltip you are creating, create a gui label instead, and update it in a similar fashion you would your tooltip.

cypher175,

Perhaps something along these lines?

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ScrollBarConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 200)

$hList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 10, 280, 180)

GUISetState()

AdlibRegister("_StringAdd", 1000)

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func _StringAdd()

    GUICtrlSetData($hList, "New string " & @SEC & "|")
    GUICtrlSendMsg($hList, $WM_VSCROLL, $SB_LINEDOWN, 0) ;Scroll the ListBox control

EndFunc   ;==>_StringAdd

how could I make it so each .exe just uses a lil title window with only a [X] close button at the end of it, and also make the title of the window be updated with new info/text every time the info changes..?

Firstly, show us the code you have tried.

[cypher175]

is there some other way to update just the title of the window bar, or is this the only way like the example i have here..?

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Num = 0

Do
$Num += 1
GUICreate($Num, 250, 20, 0, 20, $WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
GUISetState()
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

That is not updating the title, it is making more guis each with a different title

I wouldnt reccomend anyone even try the above code, it wont be pretty.

Try WinSetTitle()
