_GUIToolTip_GetCurrentTool ( $hTool )
| $hTool | Handle to the ToolTip control (returned by _GUIToolTip_Create.) |
| Success: | an array with the following format: [0] - Flags that control the tooltip display. This member can be a combination of the following values: $TTF_IDISHWND = Indicates that $iID is the window handle to the tool instead of the ID $TTF_CENTERTIP = Centers the window below the tool specified by $iID $TTF_RTLREADING = Indicates that text will be displayed in the opposite direction $TTF_SUBCLASS = Indicates that the control should subclass the tool's window to intercept messages $TTF_TRACK = Positions the control next to the tool to which it corresponds $TTF_ABSOLUTE = Positions the window at the same coordinates provided by TTM_TRACKPOSITION $TTF_TRANSPARENT = Causes the control to forward mouse messages to the parent window $TTF_PARSELINKS = Indicates that links in the control text should be parsed [1] - Handle to the window that contains the tool ($hWnd) [2] - Identifier of the tool ($iID) [3] - X coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle [4] - Y coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle [5] - X coordinate of the lower right corner of the rectangle [6] - Y coordinate of the lower right corner of the rectangle [7] - Handle to the instance that contains the string resource for the tool [8] - Text for the tool [9] - Application-defined value associated with the tool |
| Failure: | set @error (see remark) |
If $hWnd referenced control is not in the same process and both processes run in different AutoIt mode (@AutoItVersion), the @error is set to 6.
The tooltip has to be displaying when this function is called or the returned results will be all zeroes.
The Flags can be converted in a readable string with _GUIToolTip_BitsToTTF().
