Title: Tool tip for a tick box ?
Post by: Andy on December 24, 2010, 01:54:45 AM

Hi Everyone,

Happy Christmas and I hope you all have a great new year!

I'm trying to get a message that appears when you have a mouse pointed to (mouse over) a simple tick box.

That is for example "Ticking this box will enable .........."

Does anyone have a simple example of how to do this?

Many thanks,
Andy.

Hi andy1966,

how about this:

Code Select

autodefine "off"

DIALOG d1

CREATEDIALOG d1,0,0,300,300,@CAPTION|@SYSMENU,0,"My Dialog",&dialoghandler
CONTROL d1,@CHECKBOX,"Tick Me to close",20,10,100,20,@TABSTOP,1

'create the tool tip control
int hTooltip
hTooltip = ToolTipControl(d1,@TTS_ALWAYSTIP|@TTS_BALLOON,0)
ttAddTool hTooltip,@TTF_SUBCLASS|@TTF_IDISHWND|@TTF_CENTERTIP,GetControlHandle(d1,1),d1.hwnd,"Ticking this box will enable .........."

DOMODAL d1

END

'Our dialog subroutine
SUB dialoghandler
	SELECT @MESSAGE
		CASE @IDCONTROL
			SELECT @CONTROLID
				CASE 1
					CLOSEDIALOG d1,@IDOK
			ENDSELECT
	   'All controls should be initialized while processing the @IDINITDIALOG message
		CASE @IDINITDIALOG
			CENTERWINDOW d1
	ENDSELECT
	RETURN
ENDSUB

Thanks for a quick reply but i'm getting errors when compiling.

Undeclared function - ToolTipControl

Undefined identifier - TTS_BALLOON
and TTS_ALWAYSTIP

Syntax error - @TTF_SUBCLASS

Could someone please redo the example code as I am new to these kinds of controls, Thanks and Happy Christmas.

Andy.

What version of EBasic/IWBasic do you have?

It should have compiled just fine.
