Hi all,

I've created a GUI with ability to choose the language. Therefore I read an *.ini (ger or eng) and set the text of buttons etc.

Code:

...
Gui, Add, Button, x30 y255 w120 gStartGame vStartGame, %str_startgame%
Gui, Add, Button, x30 y345 w120 gJoinGame vJoinGame, %str_joingame%
Gui, Add, Edit, x30 y370 w87 R1 vServerIP, %ServerIP%
...

No probs so far ...
How will it be possible to enable also language related tooltips?

"ger.ini"

Code:

str_startgame=Spiel starten
str_joingame=Spiel beitreten
str_startgame_TT=Tooltip of 'Spiel starten' in German
str_joingame_TT=Tooltip of 'Spiel beitreten' in German

"eng.ini"

Code:

str_startgame=Start game
str_joingame=Join game
str_startgame_TT=Tooltip of 'Start game' in English
str_joingame_TT=Tooltip of 'Join game' in English

All variables are global (I use "ini_exportToGlobals" of Tuncay's ini Lib http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46226)

I tried some methods, one with

Code:

MouseGetPos, , , , hCurrControl, 2

(but I don't know how to match the ID towards the corresponding variable in the language file) and also

Code:

WM_MOUSEMOVE()
{
   CurrControl := A_GuiControl
}

(but this does not work with disabled controls or even listviews etc.)

Any hints?

Thank you very much,
alpinestars

maybe the last post at the end of page 3 ?
start of page 4 says "yippee"

I found the above using a google search. Perhaps the method will be helpful as well. It is a site search.

Thank you, but it doesn't help me :-(

I am not a programming expert, but I want to enable language specific tooltips.
Any other ideas?

Thx,

Yeah, wake up and look! :shock:

================================
The last post in the first link I gave you has a working example.

Look up the "MouseGetPos" comand and see what the "2" means.
The result is a number stored in the variable.

In the example,

Code:

Gui Add, Edit, vMyEdit hwndhMyEdit 
   %hMyEdit%_TT := "MyEdit tooltip" 

the "gui,add" line get the same type of number
The next line retrieves the number from a variable and uses it, along with "_TT" to form the name of another variable.
And then stores text in the new variable.
