[shai 0]

i try set tip in Button and if i set the Button to disable it dont work.

my example:

Global Const $GUI_DISABLE = 128
Global Const $WS_SYSMENU = 0x00080000
Global Const $WS_CAPTION = 0x00C00000
Global Const $WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL = 0x400000

$hGUI = GUICreate("example", 200, 200, -1, -1, BitOR ($WS_CAPTION, $WS_SYSMENU), $WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL)
$1_btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 1", 20, 10, 150, 20)
If @OSVersion = "WIN_7" Then
    GUICtrlSetTip($1_btn, "1234")
    GUICtrlSetState($1_btn,$GUI_DISABLE)
EndIf
$2_btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 2", 20, 40, 150, 20)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $1_btn
            sleep(10)
        Case $2_btn
            sleep(10)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thats because it's disabled so of course a Tip won't show on it, since it's useless as the user can't select it.

Well...(Not Tested!) what if you were to monitor when the mouse cursor was over the button to show a message of some description then this is another route to go, but again because you've disabled the button I don't know if GUIGetCursorInfo() works.

You could create an empty label that overlays the button area, and set your tooltip to the label instead of the button. If you reenable the button later in the script, you can delete the label control and the button should work.

Nice BrewManNH! I was tired this morning when I initially read the second post, so I never would've thought of that "workaround!!"

Fresh eyes on a Monday morning.

At least here in the States it's morning still.
