Is it possible, to display two or more tooltips at the same time.. without cause some form of blinking of the tooltips. Or not displaying at all?

I've done a few searches and i've came up short. Any help would be great.

I don't think a tool tip is actually built and displayed by AutoIT. It is just a call to a Windows API that automaticaly replaces any existing ToolTip with the next one called for - in other words Windows provides the ToolTip feature and only allows one at a time.

You can try /AutoIt3ExecuteScript, but there's some coding that will need to be done to make it efficient and work how you want it to.

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.

Thanks for your replies

Testing proved me WRONG. :">

First script, compiled as TestOne.exe:

; TestOne.au3
HotKeySet("1", "Quit")

While 1
    For $i = 100 To 199
        ToolTip("Tool Tip: " & $i, 100, 100, "Mult-ToolTip One")
        Sleep(1000)
    Next
WEnd

Func Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>QuitoÝ÷ Ù'¢wlr¸©µÊ&¦)^u«zËS±y«­¢+ØìQÍÑQݼ¹ÔÌ)!½Ñ-åMÐ ÅÕ½ÐìÈÅÕ½Ðì°ÅÕ½ÐíEÕ¥ÐÅÕ½Ðì¤()]¡¥±Ä(%½ÈÀÌØí¤ôÈÀÀQ¼Èää($%Q½½±Q¥À ÅÕ½ÐíQ½½°Q¥ÀèÅÕ½ÐìµÀìÀÌØí¤°ÐÀÀ°ÐÀÀ°ÅÕ½Ðí5ձеQ½½±Q¥ÀQݼÅÕ½Ðì¤($%M±À ÈÀÀÀ¤(%9áÐ)]¹()Õ¹EեР¤(%á¥Ð)¹Õ¹ìôôÐíEÕ¥Ð

Compiled them both and ran them at the same time. Only one ToolTip per process, but multiple ToolTips can be up at the same time from different processes.

/AutoIt3ExecuteScript :P

/AutoIt3ExecuteScript :D

Actually, I've been trying to make /AutoIt3ExecuteLine make three ToolTips come up, but I haven't figured out the delimiting single and double quotes right yet. :)

This still gives errors:

For $i = 1 To 3
    $Text = 'Tool Tip: ' & $i
    $Pos = $i * 150
    $ExtCmd = '"ToolTip("' & $Text & '", ' & $Pos & ', ' & $Pos & ')"'
    Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine ' & $ExtCmd)
    Sleep(500)
Next

Sleep(10000)

Any hints? :P

This requires there to be a main ToolTip, and only stays open as long as that tooltip is active... But I just wanted to show a proof of concept:

ToolTip('ToolTip1', 0, 0, '', '', '')
_ToolTipAu3ExSc('ToolTip2', 0, 20)
Sleep(5000)
ToolTip('')
Sleep(5000)

Func _ToolTipAu3ExSc($sText, $xCoord = '', $yCoord = '', $sTitle = '', $hIcon = '', $iOpt = '')
    $OptWMM = Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)
    Local $hToolTiphWnd = WinGetHandle(WinGetTitle('classname=tooltips_class32')), $sSend
    Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', $OptWMM)
    $sSend = '#NoTrayIcon' & @CRLF & "ToolTip('" & $sText & "'," & $xCoord & ',' & $yCoord & ',"' & _
        $sTitle & '","' & $hIcon & '","' & $iOpt & '")' & @CRLF & "While ControlCommand(Hwnd('" & _
        $hToolTiphWnd & "')," & "'','', " & "'IsVisible', '')" & @CRLF & "Sleep(10)" & @CRLF & "WEnd"
    FileClose(FileOpen(@TempDir & '\ToolTipAu3ExSc.txt', 2))
    FileWrite(@TempDir & '\ToolTipAu3ExSc.txt', $sSend)
    ProcessWait(Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & @TempDir & '\ToolTipAu3ExSc.txt"', '', @SW_HIDE))
    FileDelete(@TempDir & '\ToolTipAu3ExSc.txt')
    Return 1
EndFunc

Edit:

Migrated a function.

Yep. That works (nice function), but it's still creating a script file and running it. I was hoping to just fire it off with the "/AutoIt3ExecuteLine" option. :)

You can't do Line because nothing is there to keep that line running.

Ahhhhhhh so! Totaly missed that! :">

A couple of my attempts seemed to do nothing... those versions probably created the ToolTip, which then closed in microseconds. Hence the use of MsgBox() for the help file example. It all makes sense now.

Thanks. :)
