O.P. [Resource] ToolTip Class (Updated: 14/08/07)
ToolTip Class 2.0
Now: Without a dll!

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


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

Download ToolTip Class now!

But yes, it looks really good. (Y) A nice resource.


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

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? :P
