Hello there,

I was using version 2.30 ever since and recently changed to 2.53. If you enable the balloon menu tooltips with icon using

CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_eTtsClassicMenu = CExtPopupMenuTipWnd::__ETS_BALLOON

the icon is not painted properly (i.e. cut off). I have emailed you some screen dumps this morning.

By the way, I read somewhere here in the forum that you guys are of the opinion the balloon (or any other version) tooltips look a bit odd for menu bars and thus disabled this feature by default. I don’t agree with you here. Such a tooltip surely tells the user a lot more about a menu command he might click rather then the menu item text itself, providing the tooltip text is informative enough...

Thanks for your help and best regards,
Thomas

The balloon tips in menus are turned off by default due to following reasons: they are not present in Microsoft applications and yet a greater number of our customers wants it to be turned off (judging by the number of requests). We agree these tooltips are useful. We confirm that there is a bug with painting the information icon in the balloon tip. It can be fixed by updating the source code for the CExtPopupMenuTipWnd class constructor in the ExtPopupMenuWnd.cpp file:

CExtPopupMenuTipWnd::CExtPopupMenuTipWnd()
    : m_bFlipHorz( false )
    , m_bFlipVert( false )
    , m_sizeClassicMargins( 3, 2 )
    , m_sizeRounders( 12, 10 )
    , m_sizeLeader( 25, 25 )
    , m_nIconMarginDX( 5 )
    , m_nBalloonDistance( 12 )
    , m_nClassicDistance( 13 )
    , m_eTS( CExtPopupMenuTipWnd::__ETS_BALLOON )
    , m_nSizeShadow( -1 )
    , m_ttLA( 0 )
{
    m_AnimationType = __AT_NONE;
    m_bAnimFinished = true;
