only 1 control catches tooltip?

This is the situation:
ON_NOTIFY_EX(TTN_NEEDTEXT, 0, OnToolTipNotify )
EnableToolTips(TRUE); is the first statement in OnInitDialog

<br />
BOOL DlgFlexListFormatColumns::OnToolTipNotify(UINT id, NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult){<br />
	//pTTT->szText ==> maximum 80 characters<br />
	CString tooltiptext2display;<br />
	tooltiptext2display = "";<br />
	TOOLTIPTEXT *pTTT = (TOOLTIPTEXT *)pNMHDR;    <br />
	UINT nID = pNMHDR->idFrom;<br />
    if (pTTT->uFlags & TTF_IDISHWND)   {<br />
        // idFrom is actually the HWND of the tool<br />
        nID = ::GetDlgCtrlID((HWND)nID);<br />
		switch(nID){<br />
			case IDC_STATIC_LINESPERROW: tooltiptext2display.Format(IDS_LINESPERROW);<br />
			break;<br />
			case IDC_EDIT_NROFLINES:	 tooltiptext2display.Format(IDS_LINESPERROW);<br />
			break;<br />
			default:<br />
			break;<br />
		}									//end switch<br />
		strcpy(pTTT->szText, tooltiptext2display);<br />
		return(TRUE);<br />
	}										//end if<br />
	else{ return FALSE; }					//end else<br />
}											//end method OnToolTipNotify<br />

and in the header:

afx_msg BOOL OnToolTipNotify(UINT id, NMHDR *pNMHDR,LRESULT *pResult);<br />

QUESTION:
There is only 1 control in my dialog which catches (and thus shows) a tooltip. All the rest does nothing.
What did I do wrong?

tnx for your help...

Change this to:

ON_NOTIFY_EX_RANGE(TTN_NEEDTEXTA, 0, 0xFFFF, OnToolTipNotify)

Does that imply that OnToolTipNotify() is called only for that one control? Are the other controls obscured by anything, including a group box?

Well now you mention it: yes, they are all surrounded by a groupbox.
(that one control isn't surrounded)

I didn't know that that would be problem?
Why's that?

The group box control needs to be behind the other controls. Even though it appears as a skinny line surrounding the controls, it is actually obscuring them as far as tooltips are concerned. In the resource editor, change the tab order of the controls such that all the controls within the group come first.

If you can trim the code down to something very small and still be able to reproduce it, feel free to send the project to me and I can take a look.

I see your point. If I make the Group box invisible, the tooltips appear.
However the three groupboxes in my dialog have the three last numbers of tabstop and the tooltips do not appear. (enabling or disabling the tabstop propetie does not help)

There's no need to make it "invisible." Just ensure that it is behind all the other controls.

I don't quite understand this.

Class hierarchy question...

vmaltsev8-Jul-04 1:57

8-Jul-04 1:57

Hail everyone,

Let's say I have two classes, A and B, as well as two interface (abstract) classes for them, iA and iB. Class B derived from class A and interface iB, interface iB derived from iA, so we have,
class iA {
vitrual method AA
}
class A: public iA {
method AA
}
class iB: public iA {
vitrual method BB
}
class B: public A, public iB {
method BB
}

By doing this I want to be able to access methods of class B (and A in it) through interface iB, but, I can't do so. Compiler justly says "pure vitual function AA was not defined in B"

So, couls you please explain to me how this hierarchy should look like?

Thanks in advance, any suggestion would be helpful.

Re: Class hierarchy question...

Hans Ruck8-Jul-04 5:05

Because class B inherits from both class A and class iB, it has to deal with two different vtables. Therefore you need to provide method AA of class iA in both vtables and that is the source of the error message: the implementation for class iB is missing.

Just write a wrapper method AA in the class B, calling A::AA; this will redirect iB::AA to A::AA.

Processing the LVN_KEYDOWN notification will work, I've tested it. You just need to check if ((LPNMLVKEYDOWN)lParam)->wVKey=='F' and then check the state of the control key, it is pressed when the test (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) >> (sizeof(SHORT)-1)) returns non-zero.

Seems like no big deal, but when useing the syntax below nothing happens?

GetDlgItem(IDC_STOP_ROBOT)->EnableWindow(FALSE);

.. or enable again:

happy coding,

AND

pWnd = (CWnd*)GetDlgItem(IDC_STOP_ROBOT);<br />
pWnd->EnableWindow(FALSETRUE); // sorry

if it doesn't work try rebuilding all.
(now I noticed it's actually the same... WTF | :WTF:

)

Hope it helps.

I'm using CHtmlView in my application to display html's store on the local machine. But when i navigate to some locla page sometimes the images there are not displayed. The image path is correct. It's something like "c:\images\image.jpg". Where is the problem. In caching, in backward slashes?

Hmm... interesting.
I once wrote a program that stored the HTML sources inside the rc-file, worked fine for HTML, didn't worked at all for jpg's. So I put the jpg's in a relative adress to the program -> wokred fine.

In other words, the problem you are describing here worked fine back then when I tryed it (VS6 a few years ago), so I guess the problem lies in the HTML-Source.
Can you please post the HTML-Source around the problem? (right click, view source when the program is running.)
