~ Tooltip For Long Items' Labels In ListView? (SOLVED)

[EKY32]

I have a list view with long items' labels and I need to view a tool tip showing the full item label when the mouse cursor is over the Explorer-Styled item:

Any help please?

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 275, 243, 192, 124)
$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("one|two", 8, 8, 257, 225)
_SetWindowTheme(GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), "Explorer")
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, 50)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, 50)
$ListView1_0 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item 1|item1-1", $ListView1)
$ListView1_1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|item2-2", $ListView1)
$ListView1_2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item item item 3|item item item 3-3", $ListView1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit

EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _SetWindowTheme($hWnd, $sName = 0, $sList = 0)
Local $TypeOfName = 'wstr', $TypeOfList = 'wstr'
If Not IsString($sName) Then
$TypeOfName = 'ptr'
$sName = 0
EndIf
If Not IsString($sList) Then
$TypeOfList = 'ptr'
$sList = 0
EndIf
Local $Ret = DllCall('uxtheme.dll', 'uint', 'SetWindowTheme', 'hwnd', $hWnd, $TypeOfName, $sName, $TypeOfList, $sList)
If @error Then
Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
Else
If $Ret[0] Then
Return SetError(1, $Ret[0], 0)
EndIf
EndIf
Return 1
EndFunc ;==>CtrlSetTheme

Thank you.

I have an application that has a lot more information in some sub-items of the list view.

Even "$LVS_EX_INFOTIP" didn't cut it for me since it doesn't include line breaks or doesn't wrap.

What I've had to do was catch a few Widows Messages and display a custom infotip for them that

will wrap the string and include line breaks. I still don't like this method since it's pretty tricky to remove

the current infotip when the mouse leaves the gui, I can't figure out how to do it without using a mouse hook

or windows hook, which I'd like to avoid...

And adlib doesn't work either since the app is pretty busy doing things at times, which is why I'd like to solve

this using a windows message method. Still trying it though, and if I have something, I'll post it here. One of the problems is that the windows

messages like mouse events don't work with the listview.
