Tooltips in a FormView
Hi,
I have a VC2005 (MFC) SDI application where I switch between formviews. I am having trouble getting tool tips to work inside the formview.
In my formview class I added this code to try and get tool tips to work.
In msg map: ON_NOTIFY_EX(TTN_NEEDTEXT, 0, OnToolTipNotify)
BOOL CMyFormView::OnToolTipNotify(UINT id, NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
//.....................code in here etc etc etc
}
In Oninitialupdate I call, EnableToolTips(TRUE);
I have editted the string resources also.
MY PROBLEM is, there are 4 buttons want to display tooltips for, and yet a tooltip only appears for 1 of the 4 buttons. When I put a break point in the OnToolTipNotify function the function is only entered when I hover above one of the four buttons, when shorely it should be entered when I hover above any of the 4 buttons. I spent about a day trying to get it to work but I couldn't.
As a different approach I also tried to get tool tips to work by using the simple class - CToolTipCtrl, but I didnt have any luck with that at all.
Can anyone offer me any help as to why tooltips are not working in my cformview?
Thanks.
