ToolTip Title Limit

[Skrip]

Hey guys. It seems that if the title is too long, it will not display at all. Is there a way to figure out if it is displaying or not? Because it does not throw an error.

I think the limit is 64 characters. Edited October 5, 2008 by Andreik

Oh well, then just check if the string sent to the title is >64 and if it is, throw your own error. Thanks.

Just test on my PC and I can create tooltip with 99 chars in title. Check if you can put more.

The limit seems to be 99 on XP Home SP3.

This works

ToolTip("hej", 1, 1, _StringRepeat("A", 99))

But not this

ToolTip("hej", 1, 1, _StringRepeat("A", 100))

So 99 characters is the limit for tooltips.

99 is the max for me. - Thanks for checking that.

If StringLen($root) > 95 Then
                            $root = StringLeft($root, 90)
                            $root = "CUT-" & $root
                        EndIf
                        ToolTip("Bloop", 0, 0, "Root-" & $root)

There. That's a good way around it.

I think this should be mentioned in the helpfile so I opened a new ticket #601, it will be interesting to see what they respond
