MyEarth 10 Posted November 13, 2014 When do you create a Tooltip, the x position and the y position are relative to entire screen. Is possible instead to make them relative to the GUI? Like when you create a control Pratically i want to position a tooltip under a control so if the control is a 10px on y the tooltip is under 10px+height of the control Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jguinch 432 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) You can get the control position (relative to the screen) with WinGetpos by using the control handle : #Include <Array.au3> Run("calc") WinWait("[CLASS:CalcFrame]") Local $hControl = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:CalcFrame]","", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]") Local $aPos = WinGetPos($hControl) _Arraydisplay($aPos) So you just have to use these coordinates with ToolTip : Run("calc") WinWait("[CLASS:CalcFrame]") For $i = 1 To 10 Local $hControl = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:CalcFrame]","", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:" & $i & "]") Local $aPos = WinGetPos($hcontrol) ; Left = $aPos[0] ; Top = $aPos[1] ; Width = $aPos[2] ; Height = $aPos[3] ToolTip("tooltip under control", $aPos[0], $aPos[1] + $aPos[3]) Sleep(500) Next Edited November 13, 2014 by jguinch Spoiler Network configuration UDF, _DirGetSizeByExtension, _UninstallList Firefox ConfigurationArray multi-dimensions, Printer Management UDF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rockerfeller 2 Posted November 13, 2014 You might also consider ControlGetPos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrewManNH 1,304 Posted November 13, 2014 Are you creating a tooltip for a GUI you're building or a non-AutoIt GUI?

MyEarth 10 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) An Autoit GUI, if wasn't different i would have written at my first post. I have try some AutoItSetOption but nothing change for ToolTip, the idea of calculate the position is good but is the only one? Searching again i have found an old post of 2006 and is pratically the same idea posted by jguinch: Edited November 13, 2014 by MyEarth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jguinch 432 Posted November 13, 2014 Did you try GUICtrlSetTip() ? Spoiler Network configuration UDF, _DirGetSizeByExtension, _UninstallList Firefox ConfigurationArray multi-dimensions, Printer Management UDF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrewManNH 1,304 Posted November 13, 2014 I'm with jguinch on this one, which is why I asked about the GUI above, there's already a command to do what you want to do. Or if you want something fancier there's the GUIToolTip UDF to work with. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
