You are really expecting that someone will help you base on (not)given information?!

[Aceguy]

um, just want to know how to set a tooltip for an item (row) in a listview.

Maybe:

_GUICtrlListView_SetToolTips()

Look into AutoIt helpfile yourself at standard UDF GuiListView section.

[Aceguy]

$hToolTip = _GUICtrlListView_GetToolTips ($hListView)
MsgBox (4160, "Information", "ToolTip Handle: 0x" & Hex($hToolTip))
_GUICtrlListView_SetToolTips ($hListView, $hToolTip)

now i'm really confused.?

[MrCreatoR]

I don't understand how _GUICtrlListView_SetToolTips() works, it does not doing anything as far as i can see.

Here is a workaround for Tooltips on LV items:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiListView.au3>

Global $iLastItem = -1

$GUI = GUICreate("Listview Set ToolTip Demo")

$hListView = GuiCtrlCreateListView("Column 1", 10, 10, 380, 380)

For $i = 1 To 10
    GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem("Item text with ToolTip " & $i, $hListView)
Next

GUISetState()
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "WM_NOTIFY")

While 1
    Switch GuiGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $iCode, $tNMHDR, $hWndListView
    $hWndListView = $hListView
    If Not IsHWnd($hListView) Then $hWndListView = GUICtrlGetHandle($hListView)
    
    $tNMHDR = DllStructCreate($tagNMHDR, $ilParam)
    $hWndFrom = HWnd(DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "hWndFrom"))
    $iIDFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "IDFrom")
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "Code")
    
    Switch $hWndFrom
        Case $hWndListView
            Switch $iCode
                Case $LVN_HOTTRACK; Sent by a list-view control when the user moves the mouse over an item
                    Local $tInfo = DllStructCreate($tagNMLISTVIEW, $ilParam)
                    Local $iItem = DllStructGetData($tInfo, "Item")
                    Local $aItem_Rect = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemRect($hListView, $iItem)
                    
                    Local $aLV_Pos = WinGetPos($hWndListView)
                    
                    If $iItem = -1 Then ToolTip("")
                    If $iLastItem = $iItem Then Return 0
                    
                    $iLastItem = $iItem
                    
                    Local $sToolTipData = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($hListView, $iItem)
                    ToolTip($sToolTipData, $aLV_Pos[0]+$aItem_Rect[0]+5, $aLV_Pos[1]+$aItem_Rect[1])
            EndSwitch
        Case $iLastItem <> -1 ;And _GUICtrlListView_GetHeader($hWndListView)
            ToolTip("")
            $iLastItem = -1
    EndSwitch
    
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc

The only(?) problem is that if you hover the column header, and then hover first item, the tooltip not shown, it will shown only if you hover from the bottom items .

FIXED!

I don't understand how _GUICtrlListView_SetToolTips() works, it does not doing anything as far as i can see.

I think you should use it in this order:

_GUIToolTip_Create

_GUIToolTip_SetToolInfo

_GUICtrlListView_SetToolTips

_GUIToolTip_Activate

But this is only rough idea concept I haven't used it yet.

[MrCreatoR]

Nope, this does not work either.. and i tried a lot of combinations of these (and others) functions!

And the help file not include examples on _GUIToolTip_* funcs

[ConsultingJoe]

Did anyone ever get this to work, I'm in need and there are no examples.

Thanks in Advance.
