MFC CToolTipCtrl SetTextColor and SetBackgroundColor doesn't work

Question

I use a self-draw CTreeCtrl and want to show CToolTipCtrl text on each tree item.
I can change the text with TTN_NEEDTEXT，but
SetTipTextColor and SetTipBkColor don't work.

If I need to self-draw or use other tooltip class, could you give me some advice?
Thank you so much.

Answer 1

Hi,

According to the Docs: TTM_SETTIPTEXTCOLOR message and TTM_SETTIPBKCOLOR message
When visual styles are enabled, this message has no effect.

As far as I'm concerned, This is the reason for SetTextColor and SetBackgroundColor doesn't work.

I suggest you could try to use NM_CUSTOMDRAW.

Best Regards,

Jeanine
