GUICtrlSetTip

[step887]

Basically I have label control on top of a label control

The reason I have that is I am using the bottom label as a dummy for coloring purposes

i put the set tip on the label that is on "top", the dummy is disable.. but the tip will not appear

any suggestions ?

$main = GUICreate("Test GUI",250,250)
  $a = GUICtrlCreateLabel("",0,0,250,200)
  GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xa23411)
  GUICtrlSetState(-1,@SW_DISABLE)
  $b = GUICtrlCreateLabel("hover your mouse over me", 20,20,150,25);,-1,0x00000008)
  GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"test to see if tooltip works on child window")
  $c = GUICtrlCreateButton("test button",50,50)
  GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"test to see if tooltip works on child window")
  GUICtrlCreateLabel("hover your mouse over me",20,220)
  GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"test to see if tooltip works on child window")
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then Exit

Change the @SW_DISABLE to $GUI_DISABLE and add #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> to the top of the script.

thanks, I know I was doing something silly... I knew I had done it before..

I always forget the @SW_* macros are only used for WinSetState and GUISetState and that the variables are used for GUICtrlSetState.
