ToolTip Class 2.0
Now: Without a dll!

Well, I finally got around to updating this, with a little nagging from Mattike

---

Change log:

Only two noticable differences from the first version:

• No more _ToolTip.dll! - Thanks to Patchou changing the number of parameters allowed with Interop.Call from 9 to 12, I no longer need to use a dll to create the tooltip window!
  
• ToolTip.Destroy(); - Just a new function that "does what it says on the tin", destroys the tooltip!

---

Example Usage:

code:

---

// Create your window.
var MyWindow = MsgPlus.CreateWnd('MyWindow.xml', 'MyWindow');
// Get a handle to the button
var MyButton = MyWindow.GetControlHandle("ExampleButton");
// Create the ToolTip window
var MyToolTip = new ToolTip(MyButton, "Text on tooltip", "ToolTip Title", TTI_INFO);

// Update the title of the tooltip
MyToolTip.Title = "New ToolTip Title";
MyToolTip.UpdateToolTip();

---

---

List of icon constants:

• TTI_NONE
  
• TTI_INFO
  
• TTI_WARNING
  
• TTI_ERROR
  
• TTI_INFO_LARGE
  
• TTI_WARNING_LARGE
  
• TTI_ERROR_LARGE
  
• Any HICON aquired through LoadIcon

Good stuff, working perfectly .

Looks good, don't have the time to test it

But yes, it looks really good. A nice resource.


(Btw, there should have been it's own resource page at msgpluslive.net for developers )

Good job!

this is the sort of thing I'm going to put on mpscripts.net

Good work. I'm sure I'll be using this in the future

Submit it here : http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/browse/9/Others/ ?

Looks good

Nice work eljay - i might use this in some of my scripts! Thanks for the explanation too - unfortunately you missed a bit. How do i extract the files out of the zip file

Damned... I'm trying to let my interface XML's change their tooltips to make my script multilingual and then you have to do this...

Naah, great work! I'm definitely going to use it!

PS: Do we have to register _ToolTip.dll, and if so, do we have to register it in the DotNetFiles or the OleFiles?
