I have a weird problem with a ToolTip function. It seems that I can't reliably remove a tooltip from the screen if I originally created it by setting a tooltip text via variable, not a straight up string. Here's a simple script that I used for testing: After I remade the script into this, it started working just fine (stopped working after I fixed the array comparison): Basic idea of the script: You press F1 and a tooltip with some useful info shows up by the mouse cursor. It follows the cursor around until you press F1 again, then it copies the info to the clipboard and hides the tooltip. It almost seems like if I created a tooltip using a variable to set the text, then ToolTip("") most of the times just repeats the previous use of ToolTip function. If you try to add Sleep(1000) before ToolTip("") in the first draft of the script, you'll see what i mean (if it works the same for everyone, that is). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, I am still really new with AutoIT. We are using it to automate logging into web sites and I have encountered problems with focus. The target web page is configured to put the cursor into the first text field (username) when the page is loaded, and when I run the AutoIT script, which does the log in seems like it is just not starting where I expect it to be. I have been kind of using ToolTip() to kind of help with debugging, but now I am wondering if the calls to ToolTip() are causing the focus to be messed up. For example, at least visually, when the ToolTip() is called, I can see the cursor disappear from the web page text field and they when I do anything that is supposed to send keystrokes, they are going off somwhere else ("never-neverland"). But when I remove some of the ToolTip() calls, it works correctly. So the questions I have are: 1) Do the ToolTip() calls interfere with/change where the focus on the target page are? 2) In general, what are the "rules" for where ToolTip can be used "safely" (== doesn't interfere with focus)? Thanks, Jim

So I had this Idea of creating a tooltip which shows me my ping. That itself was made quickly and I thought too add a couple features. I want the tooltip background to be a different color depending on the ping. (good ping is green, medium ping is yellow,...) So how do I color in a tooltip? google brought me to this: where in the comments I found this: $s = "LOW" ToolTip($s, 0, 0, "Battery Information");, $icon) $H_TOOLTIP1 = WinGetHandle($s) DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", $H_TOOLTIP1, "wstr", "", "wstr", "") DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $H_TOOLTIP1, "int", 1043, "int", 2552550, "int", 0) Sleep(1000) Which I then used in my code with different color codes... Trial and Error brought me these that I wanted to use: The Problem is if I loop through my code it only sets the color for the 1st loop and then sticks to it. The real problem is tho that I don't exactly understand the dllcalls... And I guess that's why it isn't working So if someone would be so awesome to explain to me how they work, or at least can give me a list of these parameters then I would really appreciate that and learn something new Obviously a solution to my problem is awesome aswell ^^ I run this under Windows 8.1 There is my code in a paste. https://pastebin.com/q525f7mS

I turned to Autoit from AHK just because it support WinForm Application so well. The problem often haunts me that all the application in my job is WinForm. And it indeed help my work so much. Great thanks in advance. However, I can't get the ToolTip text in the application of my company. Specifically，now I want to get the information about some data, however the information is all displayed in the tooltip on the scatter diagram which is made of those data. Is there any advice ? Relative topics I have searched can't get any information about the winform tooltip...

Hey all, Hopefully an easy question...if I have a listview with tooltips enabled and I move the mouse cursor off the listview, how can I clear the tooltip?

Hi, Here is an UDF to create, delete, set the icon and state, tooltip and tip for your notify icons. The main advantage is that you can handle mouse events as you want, there is no default events. You can create fully customised notifyicons/tooltips. Thanks to Holger Kotsch for his ModernMenu UDF. Note : Breaking changes ! Please use the 1.2+ version. Functions : Attachments : Example + UDF : AutoIt v3.3.10.0+ NotifyIcon_1.2.zip TrayIconEx_1.1.zip AutoIt v3.3.8.0+ TrayIconEx.zip & Requirements : >WinAPIEx UDF. As usual, enjoy !

Hello guys! I've got a simple question: - Is it possible to display a ToolTip on ListBox Item? - I want to display it when an Item is too long for the ListBox width, and a part of it is hidden (Just like a ListView does, but for a ListBox) Thanks!

Thanks. #include <ScreenCapture.au3> ToolTip("BlaBla Tooltip", 500, 300) Sleep(1000) _ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir &"\Image1.jpg", 0, 0, 1600, 1000, True) MsgBox(0, "TTT", "ScreenCapture done") ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir &"\Image1.jpg")

I've noticed that a tooltip shows when a GUI closes, and could not find a reference in the forums Anyone knows how to avoid the tooltip from showing ? thanks

I have been working on rewriting the GUIToolTip UDF that comes standard with AutoIt3. Most of the work has involved removing all instances of "magic" numbers and creating working examples for the help file. I have also rewritten most of the ToolTip function entries in the help file to better explain how they work, and how to use them. The original UDF worked well for the most part, but unfortunately there were no examples in the help file and the descriptions for the functions and/or what they did was sorely lacking. Attached is an archive that contains the updated GUIToolTip.au3 UDF, the ToolTipConstants.au3 file, the updated help file entries for the functions, and example scripts for as many of the UDF's functions that I could get working. There is also a script breaking changes document in the archive that describes what was changed and how it will affect any scripts written to use the functions previously. As of this writing, I can almost guarantee that if you have a script that used the original UDF it will NOT work with this one. By that I don't mean it won't work well, I mean it won't work at all, so make sure you read the script breaking changes information. There are some functions in the original UDF that I couldn't get working even with the rewrite, mostly that is because I lack the knowledge necessary to make them work, or they just don't work as written and I can't tell the difference. Any of the functions that don't have example scripts in the help file entries I couldn't get to work, except for the function _GUIToolTip_ToolToArray, which appears to be mostly used as an internal function but I left it as is in case someone ever used it for a script. The new UDF removes the function _GUIToolTip_TTFToBits as it is no longer needed for anything and adds a new function called _GUIToolTip_Deactivate. Please look over the functions, the examples, and the help file entries and give some feedback as to what can be improved, changed, removed etc. Also, please take a look at the functions that I couldn't make work and let me know if you can get them working and an example showing what it does and how it should work. The more eyes looking at this the better it will be in the end. Thanks. GUIToolTip.zip

I discovered bug in AutoIt. I write here first and not directly on BugTrac to be sure. Here is simple test script: GUICreate("ToolTip bug", 400, 300) GUICtrlCreateLabel('Test1', 10,10,100,25) GUICtrlSetTip(-1,'tip 1') GUICtrlCreateLabel('Test2', 10,50,100,25) GUICtrlSetTip(-1,'tip 2') GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then ExitLoop WEnd When you place cursor on label1 and then immediatelly after tooltip appear on label2 and back to label1 all is OK (tooltip appears) but when you place cursor on label1 and don't move cursor until tooltip dissapear (approx 5 seconds depends on Windows setting) then after placing cursor on label2 tooltip appears but back on label1 tooltip don't appear anymore Note1: I tested it on "my latest AutoIt beta" 3.3.7.23 Note2: This bug isn't in AutoIt 3.2.12.1 so it was introduced in some new version So question is if this bug is also in latest AutoIt release/beta version. EDIT: Now I discovered that it can be unblocked by click on label, after that ToolTip shows correctly again This bug apply also for other controls not only labels, tested on buttons EDIT2: It seems bug is only on WinXP, i will do more tests ... EDIT3: YES it appears only on WinXP (also with latest release/beta 3.3.8.1/3.3.9.4). Bug ticket reopened http://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/1275

Here's a snippet that demonstrates how to use the _GUIToolTip_xxx UDF functions, it's only a brief demo showing some of the techniques to use them. There are no examples in the help file that show how to create them, display them, or use them in general, so I had to figure this out by grabbing snippets here and there from around the internet and seeing how they work. There are several UDFs that utilize the tooltip UDF with explanations on how to use them with the controls that they are made for, for example the ListView and Tabs UDFs have functions that allow you to create tooltips for those controls, but not any general purpose examples are around the forum. It took me a while to find out how to get these to work but once I got the basics down they weren't hard to use at all. This script shows you how to create the tooltip, and how you can color them once they're created. It's heavily commented so it should be easy to follow. Take note of the comment after the _GUIToolTip_SetTipTextColor function, it's important to realize how to color the text correctly. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GUIToolTip.au3> Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1) Example() Func Example() Local $MESSAGE = "The following buttons have been clicked" Local $add, $clear, $close, $msg, $mylist Local $hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI list") Local $hToolTip = _GUIToolTip_Create($hGUI, $TTS_BALLOON) ; create a balloon style tooltip control ; turn off visual style for the tooltip otherwise color settings won't work DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", $hToolTip, "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0) ; if you remove the previous line the tooltip displays normally, but you can't color it $add = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add", 64, 32, 75, 25) Local $hAdd = GUICtrlGetHandle($add) ; we need handles of the controls to use them with the tooltips $clear = GUICtrlCreateButton("Clear", 64, 72, 75, 25) Local $hClear = GUICtrlGetHandle($clear) $mylist = GUICtrlCreateList("buttons that have been clicked", 176, 32, 121, 97) Local $hMylist = GUICtrlGetHandle($mylist) $close = GUICtrlCreateButton("my closing button", 64, 160, 175, 25) Local $hClose = GUICtrlGetHandle($close) GUISetState() ; the last number (9) in the below functions indicates that the $iID parameter is a handle to the control and not an identifier of the tooltip ; as well as subclassing the tooltip control _GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, 0, "Add something to the list", $hAdd, 0, 0, 0, 0, 9) ; this sets a tooltip to the add button _GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, 0, "This is the close button", $hClose, 0, 0, 0, 0, 9) ; this sets a tooltip to the close button _GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, 0, "This is the ListBox", $hMylist, 0, 0, 0, 0, 9) ; this sets a tooltip to the list control _GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, 0, "Clear the list box", $hClear, 0, 0, 0, 0, 9) ; this sets a tooltip to the clear button _GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, 0, "This is a tooltip for the whole GUI", $hGUI, 0, 0, 0, 0, 9) ; this sets a tooltip to the GUI, and not any control _GUIToolTip_SetTipBkColor($hToolTip, "0xA6EEA4") ; RGB value of the color for the background of the tooltip _GUIToolTip_SetTipTextColor($hToolTip, "0x6835EE") ; ColorRef value (BGR instead of RGB) for the text color of the tooltip While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $add GUICtrlSetData($mylist, "You clicked button No1|") Case $msg = $clear GUICtrlSetData($mylist, "") Case $msg = $close MsgBox(0, "", "the closing button has been clicked", 2) Exit EndSelect WEnd EndFunc ;==>Example
