Remarks

A "tool" is either a window, such as a child window or control, or an application-defined rectangular area within a window's client area. A tooltip is hidden most of the time, appearing only when the user puts the cursor on a tool and leaves it there for approximately one-half second. The tooltip appears near the cursor and disappears when the user clicks a mouse button or moves the cursor off the tool.

CToolTipCtrl provides the functionality to control the initial time and duration of the tooltip, the margin widths surrounding the tooltip text, the width of the tooltip window itself, and the background and text color of the tooltip. A single tooltip control can provide information for more than one tool.

The CToolTipCtrl class provides the functionality of the Windows common tooltip control. This control (and therefore the CToolTipCtrl class) is available only to programs running under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT versions 3.51 and later.

For more information about enabling tooltips, see Tool Tips in Windows not Derived from CFrameWnd.

Requirements

Header: afxcmn.h

CToolTipCtrl::Activate

Call this function to activate or deactivate a tooltip control.

void Activate(BOOL bActivate);

Parameters

bActivate
Specifies whether the tooltip control is to be activated or deactivated.

Remarks

If bActivate is TRUE, the control is activated; if FALSE, it is deactivated.

When a tooltip control is active, the tooltip information appears when the cursor is on a tool that is registered with the control; when it is inactive, the tooltip information does not appear, even when the cursor is on a tool.

Example

See the example for CPropertySheet::GetTabControl.

CToolTipCtrl::AddTool

Registers a tool with the tooltip control.

BOOL AddTool(
    CWnd* pWnd,
    UINT nIDText,
    LPCRECT lpRectTool = NULL,
    UINT_PTR nIDTool = 0);

BOOL AddTool(
    CWnd* pWnd,
    LPCTSTR lpszText = LPSTR_TEXTCALLBACK,
    LPCRECT lpRectTool = NULL,
    UINT_PTR nIDTool = 0);

Parameters

pWnd
Pointer to the window that contains the tool.

nIDText
ID of the string resource that contains the text for the tool.

lpRectTool
Pointer to a RECT structure containing coordinates of the tool's bounding rectangle. The coordinates are relative to the upper-left corner of the client area of the window identified by pWnd.

nIDTool
ID of the tool.

lpszText
Pointer to the text for the tool. If this parameter contains the value LPSTR_TEXTCALLBACK, TTN_NEEDTEXT notification messages go to the parent of the window that pWnd points to.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

Remarks

The lpRectTool and nIDTool parameters must both be valid, or if lpRectTool is NULL, nIDTool must be 0.

A tooltip control can be associated with more than one tool. Call this function to register a tool with the tooltip control, so that the information stored in the tooltip is displayed when the cursor is on the tool.

Note

You cannot set a tooltip to a static control using AddTool.

Example

See the example for CPropertySheet::GetTabControl.

CToolTipCtrl::AdjustRect

Converts between a tooltip control's text display rectangle and its window rectangle.

BOOL AdjustRect(
    LPRECT lprc,
    BOOL bLarger = TRUE);

Parameters

lprc
Pointer to a RECT structure that holds either a tooltip window rectangle or a text display rectangle.

bLarger
If TRUE, lprc is used to specify a text-display rectangle, and it receives the corresponding window rectangle. If FALSE, lprc is used to specify a window rectangle, and it receives the corresponding text display rectangle.

Return Value

Nonzero if the rectangle is successfully adjusted; otherwise 0.

Remarks

This member function calculates a tooltip control's text display rectangle from its window rectangle, or the tooltip window rectangle needed to display a specified text display rectangle.

This member function implements the behavior of the Win32 message TTM_ADJUSTRECT, as described in the Windows SDK.

CToolTipCtrl::Create

Creates a tooltip control and attaches it to a CToolTipCtrl object.

virtual BOOL Create(CWnd* pParentWnd, DWORD dwStyle = 0);

Parameters

pParentWnd
Specifies the tooltip control's parent window, usually a CDialog. It must not be NULL.

dwStyle
Specifies the tooltip control's style. See the Remarks section for more information.

Return Value

Nonzero if the CToolTipCtrl object is successfully created; otherwise 0.

Remarks

You construct a CToolTipCtrl in two steps. First, call the constructor to construct the CToolTipCtrl object, and then call Create to create the tooltip control and attach it to the CToolTipCtrl object.

The dwStyle parameter can be any combination of Window Styles. In addition, a tooltip control has two class-specific styles: TTS_ALWAYSTIP and TTS_NOPREFIX.

Style Meaning
TTS_ALWAYSTIP Specifies that the tooltip will appear when the cursor is on a tool, regardless of whether the tooltip control's owner window is active or inactive. Without this style, the tooltip control appears when the tool's owner window is active, but not when it is inactive.
TTS_NOPREFIX This style prevents the system from stripping the ampersand (&) character from a string. If a tooltip control does not have the TTS_NOPREFIX style, the system automatically strips ampersand characters, allowing an application to use the same string as both a menu item and as text in a tooltip control.

A tooltip control has the WS_POPUP and WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW window styles, regardless of whether you specify them when creating the control.

To create a tooltip control with extended windows styles, call CToolTipCtrl::CreateEx instead of Create.

Example

See the example for CPropertySheet::GetTabControl.

CToolTipCtrl::CreateEx

Creates a control (a child window) and associates it with the CToolTipCtrl object.

virtual BOOL CreateEx(
    CWnd* pParentWnd,
    DWORD dwStyle = 0,
    DWORD dwStyleEx = 0);

Parameters

pParentWnd
A pointer to the window that is the control's parent.

dwStyle
Specifies the tooltip control's style. See the Remarks section of Create for more information.

dwStyleEx
Specifies the extended style of the control being created. For a list of extended Windows styles, see the dwExStyle parameter for CreateWindowEx in the Windows SDK.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful otherwise 0.

Remarks

Use CreateEx instead of Create to apply extended Windows styles, specified by the Windows extended style preface WS_EX_.

CToolTipCtrl::CToolTipCtrl

Constructs a CToolTipCtrl object.

CToolTipCtrl();

Remarks

You must call Create after constructing the object.

Example

// Declare a CToolTipCtrl object.
CToolTipCtrl m_ToolTipCtrl;

CToolTipCtrl::DelTool

{
    //Get information about the current tooltip. 
    TOOLINFO tInfo = {0};
    tInfo.cbSize = sizeof(TOOLINFO);
    CToolBarCtrl& m_toolBarCtrl = m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl();
    CToolTipCtrl* m_toolTip = m_toolBarCtrl.GetToolTips();
    BOOL bRet = m_toolTip->GetCurrentTool( &tInfo );
}

CToolTipCtrl::GetDelayTime

Retrieves the initial, pop-up, and reshow durations currently set for a tooltip control.

int GetDelayTime(DWORD dwDuration) const;

Parameters

dwDuration

CToolTipCtrl::HitTest

Tests a point to determine whether it is within the bounding rectangle of the given tool and, if so, retrieve information about the tool.
