Hi,

I know it's a bit late, but would it be possible for you to make a "balloon" pop-up, like in Windows Vista? (see screenshot).

Hi,

I know it's a bit late, but it is possible for it to be a ballon pop-up.

In _ToolTip.js replace

code:

---

var TTS_NOPREFIX = 0x2;

---

with

code:

---

var TTS_NOPREFIX = 64;

---

note that this is definitely a hack but it'll work. If you really feel the need to, make a new variable

code:

---

var TTS_BALLOON = 64;

---

and replace every instance of TTS_NOPREFIX with TTS_BALLOON instead.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I am currently in France though, so I,ll check it out when I am back home.

[offtopic]The weather is bad here so I guess I will be before the end of the week

And those AZERTY keyboards are weird![/offtopic]

I can't seem to get this working on StaticControl type controls (aka simple text).

Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Win32 Tooltips can only be attached to controls which expose a HWND. Labels don't have a HWND type property, so you can't pass it in the TOOLINFO structure to TTM_ADDTOOL.

You could cheat though, by listening to WM_MOUSEMOVE on the window and detecting when the mouse hovers the label. When this happens, you'd assign a tooltip to the window instead of the label. When the mouse goes out of the label rectangle again, you'd remove the tooltip from the window. As you may have guessed, this is considered to be a pretty nasty workaround.
