#2970 closed Bug (No Bug)

TraySetToolTip text set to Chr(0) hides the tooltip.

Reported by: guinness Owned by:
Milestone: Component: AutoIt
Version: 3.3.12.0 Severity: None
Keywords: Cc:

Description

If the tooltip text is set to null then the tooltip is hidden. If this isn't a bug then it will need documenting in the help file.

#NoTrayIcon
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <TrayConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    TraySetState($TRAY_ICONSTATE_SHOW) ; Show the tray menu.
    TraySetToolTip("An example of a tray menu tooltip.") ; The tray menu icon must be shown before we can set some text.

    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Hover your mouse over the AutoIt icon to see the tooltip text set before.")

    TraySetToolTip(Chr(0)) ; Hide the tooltip text by setting to null i.e. ASCII - 0.

    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Hover your mouse over the AutoIt icon to see the tooltip is now hidden.") ; BUG

    TraySetToolTip() ; Reset the tooltip to the original text i.e. the script filename.

    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Hover your mouse over the AutoIt icon to see the tooltip is now the filename e.g. AutoIt - Example.au3")
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Isn't Null used to signify the end of a string, and you don't display the Null? So, wouldn't a string of just Null do the same thing as you're describing? Just throwing it out there.

The ticket request is just to confirm that this was the intention behaviour of null.

TraySetToolTip("") behaves just like TraySetToolTip() and displays the default text in the tool tip.

But "" is not the same as Chr(0) as "" is (char)32 and null is (char)0. Any further discussion should be moved to the appropriate thread please >> http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/166765-traysettooltip-override-default/.

  • Resolution set to No Bug
  • Status changed from new to closed

According to a post by Jos this is intended behavior for using CHR(0) or Null in a tooltip.
