Function Reference


_GUIToolTip_Create

Creates a ToolTip control

#include <GuiToolTip.au3>
_GUIToolTip_Create ( $hWnd [, $iStyle = $_TT_ghTTDefaultStyle] )

Parameters

$hWnd Handle to the window that will own the tool tip control. See remarks.
$iStyle [optional] ToolTip style:
$TTS_ALWAYSTIP (0x01)- Indicates that the ToolTip control appears when the cursor is on a tool even if the ToolTip control's owner window is inactive. Without this style, the ToolTip appears only when the tool's owner window is active.
$TTS_NOPREFIX (0x02) - Prevents the system from stripping the ampersand character from a string. Without this style the system automatically strips ampersand characters. This allows an application to use the same string as both a menu item and as text in a ToolTip control.
$TTS_NOANIMATE (0x10) - Disables sliding ToolTip animation.
$TTS_NOFADE (0x20) - Disables fading ToolTip animation.
$TTS_BALLOON (0x40) - Indicates that the ToolTip control has the appearance of a cartoon "balloon"
$TTS_CLOSE (0x80) - Displays a close icon so that the tooltip can be cancelled
Default: $_TT_ghTTDefaultStyle = BitOr($TTS_ALWAYSTIP, $TTS_NOPREFIX)

Return Value

Success: The handle to the Tooltip control.
Failure: 0.

Remarks

$hWnd is usually set to zero (0), or a handle to the parent or owner window of the window being created. To create a child window or an owned window, supply a valid window handle.
