MyEarth Posted November 13, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jguinch Posted November 13, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockerfeller Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You might also consider ControlGetPos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Are you creating a tooltip for a GUI you're building or a non-AutoIt GUI?

MyEarth Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jguinch Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Did you try GUICtrlSetTip() ? Spoiler Network configuration UDF, _DirGetSizeByExtension, _UninstallList Firefox ConfigurationArray multi-dimensions, Printer Management UDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted November 13, 2014 Share 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.
