I am using ActiveScaffold in a Ruby on Rails app, and to save space in the table I have replaced the default "actions" text in the table (ie. "edit", "delete", "show") with icons using CSS. I have also added a couple of custom actions with action_link.add ("move" and "copy"). For clarity, I would like to have a tooltip pop up with the r...
Given an existing valid SVG document, what's the best way to create "informational popups", so that when you hover or click on certain elements (let's say ) you popup a box with an arbitrary amount (i.e. not just a single line tooltip) of extra information? This should display correctly at least in Firefox and be invisible if the image ...
I have a drop down list in a GridView. The data inside the drop down list has variable length but the drop down list is of a fixed size. How can a tooltip be displayed over each item without selecting any item from the drop down list? I have googled but come across samples where the tooltip is displayed over a currently selected item of...
When using tooltips to show a detailed description of a TreeNode, the tooltip is drawn on top of the node, as if it was completing the node's text. Also, if the text is long, the tooltip is positioned in a way that the text exceeds the screen. But what I need is the tooltip to show right below the mouse pointer and not on top of the Tr...
I have a UI widget that needs to be put in an IFRAME both for performance reasons and so we can syndicate it out to affiliate sites easily. The UI for the widget includes tool-tips that display over the top of other page content. See screenshot below or go to the site to see it in action. Is there any way to make content from within the...
I'm looking to add a tooltip to each row in a bound datagrid in vb.net winforms. How can this be done? ...
i want to have a tooltip for each item in a treeview, and each item in a listview, and different for each subitem (i.e. column) in the listview. i can determine the text i want to show (using hit testing with the current mouse position, etc): private void toolTip1_Popup(object sender, PopupEventArgs e) { if (e.AssociatedControl == l...
I'm looking for a way to add a close button to a .NET ToolTip object similar to the one the NotifyIcon has. I'm using the tooltip as a message balloon called programatically with the Show() method. That works fine but there is no onclick event or easy way to close the tooltip. You have to call the Hide() method somewhere else in your cod...
I want to make some passages of a standard tooltip bold in a WinForms application. Is this possible? If not, is there a (free) tooltip component that allows me to style them (preferably also border and background)? Thanks! ...
I have a CMFCRibbonStatusBar in my mainframe to which I add a CMFCRibbonButtonsGroup which again has a CMFCRibbonButton. This button has the same ID as a menu entry. Creating the button is done as follows: CMFCRibbonButtonsGroup* pBGroup = new CMFCRibbonButtonsGroup(); CMFCToolBarImages images; images.SetImageSize(CSize(32, 16)); // N...
Hi everyone, I'm trying to build a hoverable Jquery tooltip. This tooltip should appear when I hover over some element, and stay put if I choose to hover over the tooltip itself too. The tooltip should disappear only if I hover away from the original element or from the tooltip body. Based on an example I found, I managed to create thi...
I have a class derived from CTreeCtrl. In OnCreate() I replace the default CToolTipCtrl object with a custom one: int CMyTreeCtrl::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { if (CTreeCtrl::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) return -1; // Replace tool tip with our own which will // ask us for the text to display with a T...
I have a multiline text string (e.g. "Stuff\nMore Stuff\nYet More Stuff"), and I want to paint it, along with a bitmap into a tooltip. Since I am painting the bitmap, I need to set OwnerDraw to true, which I am doing. I am also handling the Popup event, so I can size the tooltip to be large enough to hold the text and the bitmap. I am ...
Hi, since JTree & TreeModel don't provide tooltips straight out-of-the-box, what do you think, what would be the best way to have item-specific tooltips for JTree? Edit: (Answering my own question afterwards.) @Zarkonnen: Thanks for the getTooltipText idea. I found out another (maybe still a bit nicer) way with overriding DefaultTr...
I have a control in Silverlight 2 that changes state during the application. When its state changes, I want to update the tooltip that goes with it. I'm using the ToolTipService: ToolTipService.SetToolTip(ent.LayoutRoot, "FooBar"); which works fine the first time I set a tooltip, but fails the second time time around I get: "Object...
Hi, I'm currently adding verbose tooltips to our site, and I'd like (without having to resort to a whizz-bang jQuery plugin, I klnow there are many!) to use carriage returns to format the tooltip. To add the tip I'm using the 'title' attribute. I've looked around the usual sites and using the basic template of: <a title='Tool?Tip?On?N...
Hi, I want to create custom tooltips where I can put any kind of controls. I have derived from CDialog and used the WS_POPUP | WS_BORDER styles. I also add the CS_DROPSHADOW style in the OnInitDialog to get the tooltip shadow. Then I manage myself the WM_MOUSEHOVER and WM_MOUSELEAVE events to show/hide the tooltips. I display the tool...
Our Flex app automatically resizes with the browser window, we've addressed a whole bunch of scaling issues quite easily but one that remains is tooltips. They show in the wrong location on screen, not being scaled properly based on the window size. Since tooltips are positioned automatically, how can we address this? To clarify I am us...
In my helpset file, I'm declaring a favorites view, using <view> <name>Lesezeichen</name> <label>Lesezeichen</label> <type>javax.help.FavoritesView</type> <data></data> </view> This automatically adds an appropriate button to the toolbar (in the swing application). Unfortunately, the tooltip of the button reads "Add to favorit...
So I have a TMenuItem attached to a TAction on a TPopupMenu for a TDBGrid (actually 3rd party, but you get the idea). Based on the selected row in the grid, the TAction is enabled or disabled. What I want is to be able to display a hint to the user explaining why the item is disabled. As far as why I want a hint on a disabled menu i...
