Description

Sets the text of the note associated with a specified command link button.

Remarks

Beginning with comctl32 DLL version 6.01, command link buttons may have a note.

The BCM_SETNOTE message works only with the BS_COMMANDLINK and BS_DEFCOMMANDLINK button styles.

The note text is displayed underneath the main caption. Command Link buttons require extra vertical space; if the control is too short, Windows will hide the note and render a single-line layout. ake the button taller to ensure the note becomes visible.

Use this message only with the BS_SPLITBUTTON and BS_DEFSPLITBUTTON button styles.

To use this message, you must provide a manifest specifying Comclt32.dll version 6.0.

Examples

CButton.SetNote(hButton, "My note")

FUNCTON SetSplitImageList (BYVAL hButton AS HWND, BYVAL himlGlyph AS HIMAGELIST) AS BOOLEAN

CButton.SetNote(hButton, himlGlyph)
