Once the user of this program has clicked on button I want there to be a tool tip in a certain place in a window. The place is always over a label (or maybe button) and as soon as the button is pushed a tool tip will come up there. I looked at the tool tip thing it help but it doesn't have any parameters for setting the tool tip within a window... at least that I saw...

Thanks, Piano_Man

Maybe you're not using Beta? :whistle:

Check out ToolTip() in the Beta helpfile. You can provide X/Y coordinates for the tool tip. If that's not what you meant, please clarify.

That's sort of what I mean. But what I want the tool tipt to appear over a GUI box I have, and if I move the Guibox moves I want the tool tip to still appear over the same button, not where the GUibox use to be. I think the X/Y coordinates are relative to the desktop screen not the window that's open right?

I don't think tool tips are "anchored" to any destop item. The x/y coordinates of the particular window can be tracked and the tool tip position updated, though.

@ Vivvic

I tried all three Choord modes that are listed here and none of them worked on 0,1 or 2... unless I did something wrong. I wrote a little script just to test them...

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GuiCreate(400, 400)
$button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Hello", 150, 150, 100, 100)
Guisetstate()

While 1
    $msg = GUiGetmsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $button
            Tooltip("Hello, I hope this works", 200, 200)
            Opt("GUItCoordMode", 0) 
        Case $msg = $Gui_Event_Close
            Exit
    EndSelect
Wend

Anyone have any ideas why it isn't working?

Edit:

@PsaltyDS

Do you have any examples? I don't know how I would do that... thanks,

Endedit

Thanks Piano_Man

Opt("GUItCoordMode", 2) is for the window cord, and not sure if it matters but I always put it at the top, you have to get the windowed coords as well, in autoit window info go to options coord mode and you will be able to select window.

All right I give up.. it's not working. If someone has an example that would be nice but anyways, it doesn't real matter. I'm going to create a help menu anyways and that will have the info in it that was going to go on the tooltip. However for future reference, is there a way you can keep a window from moving and still be able to use all the buttons?

Piano_Man

P.S. I've tried @SW_LOCK and @SW_DISABLE, but I don't know if there's some way you can only lock the window from moving...

Why not just use GUICtrlSetTip()?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GuiCreate(400, 400)
$button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Hello", 150, 150, 100, 100)
GUICtrlSetTip($button, 'It Does Work')
Guisetstate()

While 1
    $msg = GUiGetmsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $button
        Case $msg = $Gui_Event_Close
            Exit
    EndSelect
Wend

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

This works too if you just want it when the button is clicked:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GuiCreate(400, 400)
$button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Hello", 150, 150, 100, 100)
Guisetstate()

While 1
    $msg = GUiGetmsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $button
            $OptMCM = Opt('MOUSECOORDMODE', 1)
            $aMpos = MouseGetPos()
            Opt('MOUSECOORDMODE', $OptMCM)
            If IsArray($aMpos) Then ToolTip('THIS WORKS TOO', $aMpos[0] + 20, $aMpos[1] + 20)
        Case $msg = $Gui_Event_Close
            Exit
    EndSelect
Wend
