I have a problem with tooltips for ComboBoxes on a toolbar.   They don’t appear even though I have verified that the tool string is associated with the command item, and that the activate message is sent to the tooltip control.


Actually, I see the same behaviour for your ProfStudio sample program.  For example the URL combobox on the Web toolbar doesn’t show a tooltip.


Is this intentional?


Thanks in advance

Thank you for a good question. The tooltip support is provided by the toolbar window. The regular command items, which are part of the toolbar’s client area, are not HWND-based. The combo-box is a child window inside the toolbar. Tooltips provided by the toolbar cannot be applied to toolbar’s child windows. We think we should add the tooltip support methods to the CExtComboBox class as we did in the CExtButton class.
