[Solved] ToolTip UDF - How to determine direction of tool tip

[Trolleule]

Hey,

i can't find a solution, to set the direction of a tool tip.

Bootstrap demo

see "Bottom Tooltip", thats what i try to get. Can someone help?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIToolTip.au3>
#include <GuiTab.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Built-In Tab Example", 500, 500)

$hTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 480, 480)
; Create tabitems
For $i = 0 To 2
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab " & $i)
    $aha = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button " & $i, 20 + ($i * 100), 40 + ($i * 50), 80, 30)
Next
; Close Tab definiton
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")


; #TOOL TIPS# =========================================================================================================================================================================
Global $hToolTip = _GUIToolTip_Create(GUICtrlGetHandle($hTab), BitOR($_TT_ghTTDefaultStyle, $TTS_BALLOON)); ) ; default style tooltip
_GUICtrlTab_SetToolTips($hTab, $hToolTip)
_GUIToolTip_SetMaxTipWidth($hToolTip, 100) ; this allows multiline tooltips
_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, 0, "Reset current View.", GUICtrlGetHandle($aha))
; =====================================================================================================================================================================================

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Got it:

GUICtrlSetTip($idXY, "Test.", "", 0, 3)

3 = arrow bottom ; 1 = arrow top

don't know why...its autoit. Not really documented.

3 is just 1+2 combined. 2 puts the tooltip below the text, and 1 gives you a balloon style tip.

You could also modify the original script to this to do the same thing.

_GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip, 0, "Reset current View.", GUICtrlGetHandle($aha), Default, Default, Default, Default, BitOR($TTF_CENTERTIP, $TTF_SUBCLASS, $TTF_IDISHWND))
