Neither, it's just a standard dll.

Okay, I just thought it could be necessary and I'd have trouble when I wouldn't register... thanks for telling!

Does this only work on buttons or can it be on thing like text and check boxes too?

nope... this class doesn't have anything todo with that (Plus!'s interface <help> tag, which will create a standard tooltip).

This class creates its own tooltip windows and can be used on anything which has a window handle. The class is nice, but in most cases (all?) you don't need a title and icon for a tooltip, so there is no use in using this class if you just want standard normal tooltips.

The class is usefull if you want to add a very big explanation or whatever where using a title and icon makes some sense.

Aka: don't use this class (and mandatory DLL!) for just simply adding a tooltip to some control. It would be extremely overdoing it and bloating your code serisouly (much code in your script in that case for something rather non-functional and which can be done way more easier). In that case use the build in Plus! interface tag <help>.

Hmm... but it's using the Windows API message "TTM_ADDTOOL" to actually create it, right? Let me check MSDN...

Right, MSDN just says it registers a tooltip for a control, but can it be used on an element too? Like, let's say, can you use TTM_ADDTOOL to create a tooltip for an ImageElement?

Aargh, I'll STFU! You're right, it can be used on any control whose handle can be returned by PlusWnd.GetControlHandle. I should've analyzed the code better.

code:

---

MyToolTip.Text = "...";
MyToolTip.Icon = TTI_INFO;
MyToolTip.Title = "...".

---

this work? because i try and that not work

code:

---

var MyToolTip0 = new ToolTip(MyButton, "Select a picture in this list for associate them to the status.", name, TTI_INFO)
        Debug.Trace("ToolTip: " +MyToolTip0)

---

that return

code:

---

ToolTip: [object Object]

---

ok this plugins work perfectly

just need to update the tooltip after edit them

code:

---

MyToolTip[0].Text = "You want to set this\npicture to this Ps?"
MyToolTip[0].Title = Wnd.GetControlText("LblName")
MyToolTip[0].UpdateToolTip();
