 |
|
Hi!
The example shows a tooltip when I hover over an edit control. Is it possible to get a tooltip when I hover over a text control in a gui?
| Code: | Gui, Add, Edit, vMyEdit
MyEdit_TT := "A tooltip"
Gui, Add, Text, vMyText, Sometext ;???
MyText_TT := "A tooltip" ;???
Gui, Add, DropDownList, vMyDDL, Red|Green|Blue
MyDDL_TT := "Choose a color from the drop-down list."
Gui, Show
OnMessage(0x200, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")
return
WM_MOUSEMOVE()
{
static CurrControl, PrevControl, _TT ; _TT is kept blank for use by the ToolTip command below.
CurrControl := A_GuiControl
If (CurrControl <> PrevControl and not InStr(CurrControl, " "))
{
ToolTip ; Turn off any previous tooltip.
SetTimer, DisplayToolTip, 1000
PrevControl := CurrControl
}
return
DisplayToolTip:
SetTimer, DisplayToolTip, Off
ToolTip % %CurrControl%_TT ; The leading percent sign tell it to use an expression.
SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, 3000
return
RemoveToolTip:
SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, Off
ToolTip
return
}
GuiClose:
ExitApp |

Here's a simpler example to learn from. | Code: | Gui, Add, Text, w400, Show me a ToolTip!
SetTimer, ToolTip
Gui, Show
return
GuiClose:
ExitApp
ToolTip:
MouseGetPos,,,,control
If (control = "static1") AND !(on)
{
ToolTip, Here it is.
on = 1
}
Else If (control != "static1") AND (on)
{
ToolTip
on = 0
}
return |

Going along with jaco0646's example, you can make variables which are control-specific. Here's what I mean:
| Code: |
Gui, Add, Text, w400, Show me a ToolTip!
SetTimer, ToolTip
Gui, Show, , MyGUI
var_Static1 = This is a ToolTip for Static 1 - a TextBox ; Put this at the top along with any others you want to try.
return
GuiClose:
ExitApp
ToolTip:
MouseGetPos,,,,control
tmpVar := var_%control%
ToolTip, %tmpVar%
; Doing this you will have to make sure you know what the ClassNN of the controls you want to use a ToolTip for
; And if you have multiple GUI's you can use the lines below in place of the 3 above and the associated variable:
; These 2 go above - in place of the "var_Static1":
; WinGet, thisGUI,, MyGUI ;<-- This is to get the GUI's Unique ID - it needs to go AFTER each GUI is created
; var_%thisGUI%_Static1 = This is a ToolTip for MyGUI's Static 1!
; And these below:
; MouseGetPos,,,tGUI,control
; tmpVar := var_%tGUI%_%control%
; ToolTip, %tmpVar%
return |
It's a little bit more complicated, but will look pretty good. I just tested both ways so they work if you want them.
Ciao,

Thanks for the replies. I think the problem is solved. The "dynamic" feature was what I needed since I take the text and var_Static from a text file and they can be many. Many Thanks.
| Code: | text1 = Show me ToolTip1!
text2 = Show me ToolTip2!
text3 = Show me ToolTip3!
var_Static1 = ToolTip1!
var_Static2 = ToolTip2!
var_Static3 = ToolTip3!
Loop, 3
Gui, Add, Text, w200, text%A_Index%
SetTimer, ToolTip
Gui, Show, , MyGUI
return
GuiClose:
ExitApp
ToolTip:
MouseGetPos,,,,control
tmpVar := var_%control%
ToolTip, %tmpVar%
