rebars,toolbars, and tooltips

[LarryMc]

Does anyone know how to make tooltips for a toolbar that has been assigned to a band in a rebar?
I tried using what I usually use for toolbars (below) and it doesn't work.

Code Select Expand

   CONTROLCMD main,998,@TBSETTIP,MN_WINDOW,"Create a new window"

Larry, try subclassing the rebar control, detect WM_NOTIFY message, check if *<NMHDR>lParam.code is TTN_GETDISPINFO{A|W}. If so, forward this message to your main window.

Code Select Expand

sub RebarSubclassProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam),int /*fixme*/

  if (msg = WM_NOTIFY) /* & *<NMHDR>lParam.idFrom = toolbar_id */

     if ((*<NMHDR>lParam.code = TTN_GETDISPINFOA) | (*<NMHDR>lParam.code = TTN_GETDISPINFOW))
        return _SendMessage(GetParent(hwnd), WM_NOTIFY, wParam, lParam)
      endif
 endif
 return CallWindowProc(...)

// added missing endif

Thanks Sapero, I'll give it a try.

Your help above worked great Sapero.

There's one little catch that has to be remembered.

You have to add the tooltip's text to the toolbar BEFORE you add the toolbar to the rebarband.
If you try to add tips to a toolbar after the toolbar is added to a rebar band then you get no tooltips.
