ToolTip () Problem


 Share

Recommended Posts

I wouldn't quote me on this, but I'm fairly certain it is not possible (or perhaps just not easy) to do so. I seem to recall looking into that in the past.

can i use fonts and colors in the tooltip function

Its not possible to do so from within AutoIt.. I am not aware of any way to do it even otherwise... And I've never seen any application do it.

Unless the tooltips are javascript generated within web pages...

Manually - Display properties, Appearance,Advanced, Tooltip.

This will change the font and colour of tooltips including tray tooltips.

It must be possible to do in Autoit, and it is possible in some other languages, but I would make another gui with the style $WS_POPUP and add labels in the font you want.

thank u guys can u post a sample script of the $WS_POPUP style gui

If you move the mouse cursor over the button the tooltip will appear. After 5 seconds it will disappear unless you click on the first line of the 'tooltip'.

#include <guiconstants.au3>
$main = GUICreate("Wtooltip")
$but1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("exit", 20, 20, 120, 20)
$but2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("nothing",20,60,120,20)
GUISetState()
#region set tooltip bits
$butpos = ControlGetPos("Wtooltip", "", $but1)
$windowpos = WinGetPos("Wtooltip")
$c = WinGetClientSize("Wtooltip")
$border = ($windowpos[2] - $c[0]) / 2;window border width
$Titleht = $windowpos[3] - $c[1] - $border;window title height
Global $xoffset = $butpos[0] + $butpos[2] / 2 + $border;centre of button from edge of window
Global $yoffset = +$butpos[1] + $butpos[3] / 2 + $Titleht;from top of window
Global $td = 0;timer
Global $visibleTime = 3000;8 seconds
#endregion set tooltip bits

While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
   
   $gid = GUIGetCursorInfo($main)
    $wp = WinGetPos("Wtooltip")
   switch $gid[4]
    case $but1
        ibtip($wp[0] + $xoffset, $wp[1] + $yoffset)
    case $but2
        ToolTip("over the button 2",$wp[0]+$xoffset,$wp[1] + $yoffset + 40,"title",1,1)
    case Else
        Tooltip("")
    EndSwitch
    
WEnd


Func ibtip($ix, $iy)
   $g1 = GUICreate("nnn", 200, 100, $ix, $iy, $ws_popup)
   GUISetBkColor(0xffffdd, $g1)
   GUISetFont(20, 400, 0, "Ariel", $g1)
   $ll = GUICtrlCreateLabel("First line", 10, 10, 160, 35)
   GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000)
   GUICtrlCreateLabel("Second line", 10, 40, 160, 35)
   GUICtrlSetFont(-1,18,600,0,"Times New Roman")
   GUISetState()
   $t1 = TimerInit()
   While TimerDiff($t1) < $visibleTime
      
      If GUIGetMsg() = $ll Then
         MsgBox(0, 'you clicked on', "first line")
         ExitLoop
      EndIf
      
   WEnd
   GUIDelete($g1)
   Return
EndFunc   ;==>ibtip
