TOOLTIPTEXT Structure

In writing your tool tip notification handler, you need to use the TOOLTIPTEXT structure. The members of the TOOLTIPTEXTstructure are:

typedef struct {

NMHDR hdr; // required for all WM_NOTIFY messages

LPTSTR lpszText; // see below

TCHAR szText[80]; // buffer for tool tip text

HINSTANCE hinst; // see below

UINT uflags; // flag indicating how to interpret the

// idFrom member of the NMHDR structure

// that is included in the structure

} TOOLTIPTEXT, FAR *LPTOOLTIPTEXT;

  • hdr
    Identifies the tool that needs text. The only member of this structure you might need is the control's command ID. The control's command ID will be in the idFrom member of the NMHDR structure, accessed with the syntax hdr.idFrom. See NMHDR for a discussion of members of the NMHDR structure.

  • lpszText
    Address of a string to receive the text for a tool.

  • szText
    Buffer that receives the tool tip text. An application can copy the text to this buffer as an alternative to specifying a string address.

  • hinst
    Handle of the instance that contains a string to be used as the tool tip text. If lpszText is the address of the tool tip text, this member is NULL.

When you handle the TTN_NEEDTEXT notification message, specify the string to be displayed in one of the following ways:

  • Copy the text to the buffer specified by the szText member.

  • Copy the address of the buffer that contains the text to the lpszText member.

  • Copy the identifier of a string resource to the lpszText member, and copy the handle of the instance that contains the resource to the hinst member.
