Hello...

How to set ToolTip for Tab control? I looked at _GUICtrlTab_SetToolTips in Help, don't see a ToolTip when i Hover over a Tab ^^...

Why? How to make it to work?

No, but I want to know is there any other (maybe better) way, but never mind :)

Really strange, I can't get tabs 5 and 7 to work. They are displaying tabs 1 and 2's tooltips and are not sending the WM_NOTIFY message (Vista and AutoIt v3.2.13.12). Ideas? A new bug in the AutoIt beta, or a problem with Vista?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$Tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTab(0, 0, 465, 321)

; Create Tooltiop control
Global Const $TABHANDLE = GUICtrlGetHandle($Tab1)
$hToolTip = _GUIToolTip_Create($TABHANDLE)
_GUICtrlTab_SetToolTips($TABHANDLE,$hToolTip)
; end create

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8.5, 800, 0, "Arial")

This is strange... they really don't send GetTooltip messages, but i have no idea why -> AutoIt or Windows Bug

(i have XP MCE SP3)

well, try to use the udf functions: _GUICtrlTab_Create ...

Possibly this will work -> then it's an autot-bug :)

I'd say it's an AutoIt bug then, cause this works perfectly. Although, now you have to deal with manually hiding and showing controls on tab switches, but...

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUITab.au3>
#include <GUITooltip.au3>
$Form2 = GUICreate("Programs", 472, 348, 226, 125)
$TABHANDLE = _GUICtrlTab_Create($Form2, 0, 0, 465, 321, BitOR($TCS_TABS, $TCS_TOOLTIPS))
; Create Tooltiop control
$hToolTip = _GUICtrlTab_GetToolTips($TABHANDLE)
; end create

_GUICtrlTab_InsertItem($TABHANDLE, 0, "tab1", -1, 1000)
_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, $TABHANDLE, "tab1", 1000)
_GUICtrlTab_InsertItem($TABHANDLE, 1, "tab2", -1, 1001)
_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, $TABHANDLE, "tab2", 1001)
_GUICtrlTab_InsertItem($TABHANDLE, 2, "tab3", -1, 1002)
_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, $TABHANDLE, "tab3", 1002)
_GUICtrlTab_InsertItem($TABHANDLE, 3, "tab4", -1, 1003)
_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, $TABHANDLE, "tab4", 1003)
_GUICtrlTab_InsertItem($TABHANDLE, 4, "tab5", -1, 1004)
_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, $TABHANDLE, "tab5", 1004)

Well I submitted a bug report and got a virtual slap on the wrist. I've come to realize that most mixing of UDF and non-UDF functions is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. And Valik sent that point home. He said he came up with a way to do it without the UDF funcs, and I've asked if he can post it, cause I can't figure it out.

@wraithdu: Me too. I'm curious of how realize that.

When I saw this post(yesterday), I was doing tests without success.

Here's a quick example for UDF driven tabs w/ tooltips, and controls. Performance isn't bad. I had a whole UDF done up using MDI child windows to hold the controls but tab switching performance was *terrible*, so I scrapped it.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUITab.au3>
#include <GUITooltip.au3>

Global $arr0[1] = [0], $arr1[1] = [0], $arr2[1] = [0]
Global $activetab = 0 ; default to first tab active

$gui = GUICreate("UDF Tabs w/ Tooltips", 472, 348, 226, 125)
$TABHANDLE = _GUICtrlTab_Create($gui, 0, 0, 465, 321, BitOR($TCS_TABS, $TCS_TOOLTIPS))
; Create Tooltiop control
$hToolTip = _GUICtrlTab_GetToolTips($TABHANDLE)
; end create

_GUICtrlTab_InsertItem($TABHANDLE, 0, "tab0", -1, 1000)
_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, $TABHANDLE, "tab0", 1000)
_GUICtrlTab_InsertItem($TABHANDLE, 1, "tab1", -1, 1001)
_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, $TABHANDLE, "tab1", 1001)
_GUICtrlTab_InsertItem($TABHANDLE, 2, "tab2", -1, 1002)
_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, $TABHANDLE, "tab2", 1002)

For $i = 1 To 10
    _ControlAdd($arr0, GUICtrlCreateLabel("label 0-" & $i, 10, 30 + (25 * ($i - 1))))
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
Next
For $i = 1 To 10
    _ControlAdd($arr0, GUICtrlCreateButton("button 0-" & $i, 70, 30 + (25 * ($i - 1)), 70, 20))
Next

For $i = 1 To 10
    _ControlAdd($arr1, GUICtrlCreateLabel("label 1-" & $i, 30, 30 + (25 * ($i - 1))))
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
Next
For $i = 1 To 10
    _ControlAdd($arr1, GUICtrlCreateButton("button 1-" & $i, 90, 30 + (25 * ($i - 1)), 70, 20))
Next

For $i = 1 To 10
    _ControlAdd($arr2, GUICtrlCreateLabel("label 2-" & $i, 50, 30 + (25 * ($i - 1))))

    _ControlAdd($arr2, GUICtrlCreateButton("button 2-" & $i, 110, 30 + (25 * ($i - 1)), 70, 20))
Next
