Hi I wanne make a ToolTipNotify
Posted on 2001-06-13
I am trying to catch the OnToolTipNotify in my MESSAGE_MAP like this
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CBasicGr
ON_NOTIFY_EX(TTN_NEEDTEXT,
END_MESSAGE_MAP
This is in a subwindow of main.. The tooltip works fine like this in the main, but not in this CWnd, that is put "Over" main..
What can the resons be that the MESSAGE_MAP does'nt catch the TTN_NEEDTEXT ??
Do I need some init to be done ?

thid is how i implemented OnToolTipNotify:
afx_msg BOOL OnToolTipNotify(UINT id, NMHDR *pNMH, LRESULT *pResult);
BOOL CGridCtrl::OnToolTipNotify
NMHDR *pNMH,
LRESULT *pResult)
{
LPTOOLTIPTEXT lpttt;
lpttt = (LPTOOLTIPTEXT)pNMH;
.
.
.
}
BOOL CGridCtrl::PreTranslateMes
{
switch(pMsg->message)
{
case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
case WM_LBUTTONUP:
case WM_MBUTTONDOWN:
case WM_MBUTTONUP:
case WM_RBUTTONDOWN:
case WM_RBUTTONUP:
if (m_pToolTip)
{
CPoint ptCurrentPos;
//
// offset the current position by the
// amount the window is scrolled
//
ptCurrentPos.x = LOWORD(pMsg->lParam);
ptCurrentPos.y = HIWORD(pMsg->lParam);
if (m_rectSearch.PtInRect(ptC
{
m_pToolTip->Activate(FALSE
}
// this will reactivate the tooltip
m_pToolTip->Activate(TRUE)
m_pToolTip->RelayEvent(pMs
}
}
return CWnd::PreTranslateMessage(
} // end PreTranslateMessage
afx_msg BOOL OnToolTipNotify(UINT id, NMHDR *pNMH, LRESULT *pResult);
BOOL CGridCtrl::OnToolTipNotify
NMHDR *pNMH,
LRESULT *pResult)
{
LPTOOLTIPTEXT lpttt;
lpttt = (LPTOOLTIPTEXT)pNMH;
.
.
.
}
BOOL CGridCtrl::PreTranslateMes
{
switch(pMsg->message)
{
case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
case WM_LBUTTONUP:
case WM_MBUTTONDOWN:
case WM_MBUTTONUP:
case WM_RBUTTONDOWN:
case WM_RBUTTONUP:
if (m_pToolTip)
{
CPoint ptCurrentPos;
//
// offset the current position by the
// amount the window is scrolled
//
ptCurrentPos.x = LOWORD(pMsg->lParam);
ptCurrentPos.y = HIWORD(pMsg->lParam);
if (m_rectSearch.PtInRect(ptC
{
m_pToolTip->Activate(FALSE
}
// this will reactivate the tooltip
m_pToolTip->Activate(TRUE)
m_pToolTip->RelayEvent(pMs
}
}
return CWnd::PreTranslateMessage(
} // end PreTranslateMessage
void CGridCtrl::CreateTooltips(
{
if (m_pToolTip == NULL)
{
//
// Create the tooltip control and set the tool rectangle to be the
// whole window rectangle. This will cause the tooltip control to
// request text whenever the mouse stops over the grid window.
//
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(rect);
// create a tooltip control
m_pToolTip = new CToolTipCtrl;
if(!m_pToolTip)
{
MessageBox(_T("Unable to allocate memory for ToolTips!"));
}
else
{
if( !m_pToolTip->Create(this, TTS_ALWAYSTIP) )
{
MessageBox(_T("Unable to Create ToolTips for Grid!"));
}
else
{
m_pToolTip->AddTool(this, LPSTR_TEXTCALLBACK, rect, 1);
m_pToolTip->Activate(TRUE)
// Send message to extend the life of the tooltips.
m_pToolTip->SendMessage(TT
TTDT_AUTOPOP,
30000);
EnableToolTips(TRUE);
}
}
}
} // end CreateTooltips
{
if (m_pToolTip == NULL)
{
//
// Create the tooltip control and set the tool rectangle to be the
// whole window rectangle. This will cause the tooltip control to
// request text whenever the mouse stops over the grid window.

CRect rect;
GetClientRect(rect);

m_pToolTip = new CToolTipCtrl;
if(!m_pToolTip)
{
MessageBox(_T("Unable to allocate memory for ToolTips!"));
}
else
{
if( !m_pToolTip->Create(this, TTS_ALWAYSTIP) )
{
MessageBox(_T("Unable to Create ToolTips for Grid!"));
}
else
{
m_pToolTip->AddTool(this, LPSTR_TEXTCALLBACK, rect, 1);
m_pToolTip->Activate(TRUE)
// Send message to extend the life of the tooltips.
m_pToolTip->SendMessage(TT
TTDT_AUTOPOP,
30000);
EnableToolTips(TRUE);
}
}
}
} // end CreateTooltips
Year, but it is also possible to set up tooltips for a CButton, and not for the Toolbar, how is that done ?
//CToolTipCtrl m_Tooltips;
//Set up tooltips
m_Tooltips.Create(this);
m_Tooltips.Activate(TRUE);
//example of adding controls for tooltiping
m_Tooltips.AddTool(GetDlgI
m_Tooltips.AddTool(GetDlgI
and override PreTranslateMessage:
BOOL CMyDlg :: PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if (m_hWnd)
{
m_Tooltips.RelayEvent(pMsg
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessa
}
return FALSE;
}
good luck

So what you say sedqwick is that if you have a toolbar, you don't have to create a seperate tooltip control.. but if you have, like a button in a window, you will need to make a control for that button ??

I am using the OnNotify, to get tooltips in the toolbar, is OnNotify never going to work with eg. a button in a window ?
