pekster Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I wish to change the tooltip data depending on what the user does. I have created a simple example to this effect below. Currently I am running this script under windows ME, and instead of updating the tooltip, it creates another tooltip. Then, when I mouse over the button, it shows me the first tooltip I created, pauses for about half a second, and then the next tooltip comes sliding down to cover up the first. This process goes on for however many GuiSetControlEx() commands I have used that have changed the tooltip. The process occurs every time I mouse onto the button. I am not sure if XP will react the same way, and I will test it when I get home to my XP box. Opt("GuiCoordMode", 2) $clicked = 0 GuiCreate("Title", 100, 50) GuiSetCoord(0, 0, 100, 20) $button = GuiSetControl("button", "Presser", -1, -1) $button_N = GuiSetControlNotify() GuiSetControlEx(-1, -1, -1, "Button pressed 0 times") GuiShow() While 1 $n = GuiMsg(0) Sleep(200) If $n = -3 Then Exit If $n = $button_N Then $clicked = $clicked + 1 GuiSetControlEx($button, -1, -1, "Button pressed " & $clicked & " times") EndIf WEnd [font="Optima"]"Standing in the rain, twisted and insane, we are holding onto nothing.Feeling every breath, holding no regrets, we're still looking out for something."[/font]Note: my projects are off-line until I can spend more time to make them compatable with syntax changes.

pekster Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 I have discovered a workaround for this problem. It's not really a solution since it hides the existing button, creates a new one with the same name, and adds a tooltip to the new one. Perhaps it will help lead to a better solution. $clicked = 0 GuiCreate("Title", 100, 50) $button = GuiSetControl("button", "Presser", 0, 0, 100, 20) $button_N = GuiSetControlNotify() GuiSetControlEx(-1, -1, -1, "Button pressed 0 times") GuiShow() While 1 $n = GuiMsg(0) Sleep(200) If $n = -3 Then Exit If $n = $button_N Then $clicked = $clicked + 1 ;hide the old button: GuiSetControlEx($button, 32) ;new button with same name in same position: $button = GuiSetControl("button", "Presser", 0, 0, 100, 20) ;same nofity name: $button_N = GuiSetControlNotify() ;new tooltip: GuiSetControlEx($button, -1, -1, "Button pressed " & $clicked & " times") EndIf WEnd [font="Optima"]"Standing in the rain, twisted and insane, we are holding onto nothing.Feeling every breath, holding no regrets, we're still looking out for something."[/font]Note: my projects are off-line until I can spend more time to make them compatable with syntax changes.

Valik Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Technical talk: JP, you are probably sending the add tooltip message every time, correct? You can modify a currently existing tooltip, so you might need to check to make sure the control doesn't have a tooltip before adding one. pekster: It's likely a bug which can be fixed but until then you will need to use a workaround.
