Dear Support,

We implemented the following function in our CExtEdit derived class:

void CMyEdit::OnAdvancedPopupMenuTipWndDisplay(
    CExtPopupMenuTipWnd & _ATTW,
    const RECT & rcExcludeArea
    ) const
{
    ASSERT_VALID( this );
    if( ! m_bToolTipActive )
        return;
    if( m_strToolTipText.IsEmpty() )
        return;
    _ATTW.SetText( LPCTSTR(m_strToolTipText) );
    _ATTW.SetTipStyle(CExtPopupMenuTipWnd::__ETS_RECTANGLE);
    _ATTW.SetIcon(m_hInfo);
    _ATTW.Show((CWnd*)this, rcExcludeArea, true);
}

We made sure that m_hInfo is a vaid HICON, but still, no luck. We also tried it with __ETS_BALLOON - same result.

Is there a known but there? are we doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Ron.

But CExtEdit class supports Prof-UIS tooltips and have the same method. You don’t need to implement the same in your CMyEdit class.

I found the problem - I use an HICON that I keep as member, so I had to pass the last parameter To SetIcon - bCloneIcon as true, otherwise it deletes my icon...

Problem solved.
