_GUIToolTip_Create for the text of the tabs

[odaylton]

Text translated from Portuguese by google - please apologize for any errors

 

First I have to thank the development team for product quality and the ease with which it is possible to develop tools with AutoIt.

I love being able to put a ToolTip in the form fields I create

However, I am not able to create a ToolTip on the text of the tab titles

I believe the reason is that I can't find the Tab text area Handle

Id exists but it is not possible to set the handle using GUICtrlGetHandle

as warned in the help

   

 

 

Local $TabItenID1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab0")
    ; how to get the Handle????
    ; como obter o Handle????
    Local $TabItenlHandle1 = GUICtrlGetHandle($TabItenID1) ;<<<<<<<<????
    ;I know it doesn't work and I would like to know how to fix it.
    ; sei que não funciona e gostaria de saber como resolver isso
    _GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip1, $hGUI, "Mostra no TAB1", $TabItenlHandle1)

I would like to get the Tabs Text Handle to have a different comment about each tab

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiTab.au3>
#include <GuiToolTip.au3>

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

You could use GuiCtrlSetTip?
