ToolTip Icon

[bomz]

How change this icon for my own?
How add X close button to tooltip?
How use SetWindowTheme?
Help me please.

I think it's a bot. The real bomz was a really friendly guy, and had funny icons all over the place ::)

It's me. I restore password and can't logon.

you need to look at tooltip styles and messages   :P

alas - MSDN seems to be down at the moment

[bomz]

I read msdn. It's example not working. I find one forum where C programmers says about manifests(?) and SetWindowTheme

[dedndave]

this is from the community content on the TOOLINFO structure page...

For _WIN32_WINNT  > 0x0501, you must set 'cbSize' to TTTOOLINFOA_V2_SIZE (instead of sizeof(TOOLTIPINFO))
or include the appropriate version of Common Controls in the manifest. Otherwise the tooltip won't be displayed.

the structure is defined as follows:

typedef struct {
  UINT      cbSize;
  UINT      uFlags;
  HWND      hwnd;
  UINT_PTR  uId;
  RECT      rect;
  HINSTANCE hinst;
  LPTSTR    lpszText;
#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0300)
  LPARAM    lParam;
#endif
#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= Ox0501)
  void      *lpReserved;
#endif
} TOOLINFO, *PTOOLINFO, *LPTOOLINFO;

Welcome back, bomz :t

Can't find what I was looking for - tooltips with bold titles - but CodeProject has something.

one thing i noticed...

when you create the tooltip, you provide a handle to a parent window, but do not specify WS_CHILD
from my experience, it is best to create the tooltip with HWND_DESKTOP (same as NULL) as the parent
and do not specify WS_CHILD

what we do not see is the manifest you are using
you probably want to specify common controls 6.0
but, according to the comment mentioned in my previous post, you may have
to check the OS to set a proper value for cbSize - not sure about that

You will only see the not connected icon since I am only posting the part you need ...the whole thing is too big to upload ....I you want the whole software let me now and I will upload it off site


Here you go  :P
