Spiff59 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I have a ListView displaying images in the first column and noticed when I create the ListView with the $LVS_EX_INFOTIP style, that hovering over any of the images displays a blank tooltip. I'd like to put a description of what the differing types of images represent into each tooltip. The image indicates the status of a record (one per ListView row). I have 5 different images presently. Since the images and their descriptions do vary by row, I'm half-expecting to be adding something into my WM_NOTIFY routine? Thank you.

Spiff59 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 Bump! (I did wait 6 months!) Rephrasing, my original question is still: I have a ListView and I'm using an ImageList to place one-of-six images in the first column, indicating a row's 'status'. I already have WM_NOTIFY in place to toggle status images via $NM_CLICK or $NM_DBLCLK, to modify text color of individual subitems using $NM_CUSTOMDRAW, and to redraw grid lines using $LVN_ENDSCROLL and WinAPI_InvalidateRect($hLV). I can enable $LVS_EX_INFOTIP which will display an empty infotip when you hover over an image, but I can't find documetation as to how to populate that infotip. Could someone point me to what else I might load into my WM_NOTIFY, or how/what/where else I might add code to use the $LVS_EX_INFOTIP state of ListView and set, by row, the infotip for an image? Hmm... I see that $LVS_EX_INFOTIP is still declared in the include files for AutoIT version 3.3.0.0, but I see no mention of it in the help file. Is this ListView state on the way to the scrap pile? Thank you.
