How can i set the tip background color of a tooltip if i created it using GUICtrlSetTip()?

You don't.

Create another GUI and a label and change your background that way (with your own custom tool tip).

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.

About your title, that's not very descriptive of what you want, just what you tried. RTFM for functions.

Remarks

Only Button, Label, Checkbox, Group, Radio, Edit, Input, List, Listview, ListviewItem, Treeview, TreeviewItem, Graphic, Progress and Slider controls can currently be colored.

Using GUICtrlSetTip() i don't think you can, look at this UDF, you also could use the _GUIToolTip_xxx UDFs from the AutoIt package, but they not have any example, i really don't know how to use them :)

rasim:

in progress of implementing your udf and everything seems to be going smoothly but i am having a few problems.

I am telling the functions like _Tooltip_SetBkColor() to set a certain color and its setting a totally different color.

like i told it to set 0xFFFFFF and its setting yellow?

also, i blocked multi instance running of my program but i accidentally clicked my script to run it while it was already running and came up with the error:

DllCallbackFree($TimerProcHandle) and said variable used without being declared pointing to timerprochandle

like smokeN sais here is a gui tooltip:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$ID = _TooltipShow('hello this is a custom tooltip', 100, 100, 0x000000, 0xFFFFFF)
Sleep(2000)
_TooltipHide($ID)
Sleep(2000)
Func _TooltipShow($sText, $sX, $sY, $sBackgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF, $sTextColor = 0x000000)
    $window = _WinGetActive()
    $width = StringLen($sText) * 4.4
    $sReturn = GUICreate('tooltip', $width, 15, $sX, $sY, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW + $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
    GUISetBkColor($sBackgroundColor)
    GUICtrlCreateLabel($sText, 0, 0, $width, 15)
    GUICtrlSetColor(-1, $sTextColor)
    GUISetState()
    WinActivate($window)
    Return $sReturn
EndFunc   ;==>_TooltipShow

Func _TooltipHide($sTooltipID)
    GUIDelete($sTooltipID)
EndFunc   ;==>_TooltipHide

Func _WinGetActive($sTitle = '', $sText = '')
    $list = WinList($sTitle, $sText)
    For $i = 1 To $list[0][0]
        If WinActive($list[$i][0]) Then Return $list[$i][0]
    Next
    Return SetError(1, 1)
EndFunc   ;==>_WinGetActive

Show an example of how you do it.

also, i blocked multi instance running of my program but i accidentally clicked my script to run it while it was already running and came up with the error:

That's because when the _Singleton() (i supose you are using this function? :) ) exits the script, OnAutoItExit() function is called, and this function includes the line with DllCallbackFree($TimerProcHandle), and it seems that $TimerProcHandle variable is not declared yet. You should put the _Singleton() after the #include of the UDF file.

Example:

_ToolTip_SetBkColor($label[$i][0], IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\temp.dat", "Tooltip", "Color", "0xFFFF80"))

That's because when the _Singleton() (i supose you are using this function? ) exits the script, OnAutoItExit() function is called, and this function includes the line with DllCallbackFree($TimerProcHandle), and it seems that $TimerProcHandle variable is not declared yet. You should put the _Singleton() after the #include of the UDF file.

ahh i gotcha.

Example:

Well, the color should be a hex number, not a string, try this:

_ToolTip_SetBkColor($label[$i][0], Number(IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\temp.dat", "Tooltip", "Color", "0xFFFF80")))

:)
