Tooltip Statusbar

[Rudolf Fürstauer]

Hi Paul,
there are two possibilitys to set the Tooltip of a Statusbarpanel.

1) with the Statusbar Editor
2) with the Function 'FF_StatusBar_SetTipText (HWND_FORM1_STATUSBAR, 1, "Text_01")'

But none of this way's works.

Please can you check this?

Thanks

I haven't tested but, I am pretty sure that a Tooltip will only display if the text in the status panel is too long for the width of the panel. If the text fits within the panel width then the tooltip will not show.

That is true, though very inconvenient, because you can be interested into showing a different tooltip text than the one shown in the panel. One workaround is to add many spaces to the text shown in the panel in order to become longer than the space available.

Or you could just make your own tooltip and either assign it to the bar Hwnd or the region you want...
