Please implement the following virtual method in your CExtGridWnd-derived class:

virtual void OnAdvancedPopupMenuTipWndDisplay(
      CExtPopupMenuTipWnd & _ATTW,
      const RECT & rcExcludeArea
      ) const;

void CYourGridWnd::OnAdvancedPopupMenuTipWndDisplay(
      CExtPopupMenuTipWnd & _ATTW,
      const RECT & rcExcludeArea
      ) const
{
      ASSERT_VALID( this );
      _ATTW.SetTipStyle( CExtPopupMenuTipWnd::__ETS_BALLOON_NO_ICON );
      _ATTW.Show( (CWnd*)this, rcExcludeArea );
}
The grid control supports both advanced tooltips and cell expanding features. These features are different and based on different controls. The tooltips are CExtPopupMenuTipWnd windows and they are always located near grid cells regardless of whether the balloon shape or classic rectangular shape is applied. The expand windows are CExtContentExpandWnd objects and they are always located over cells. Please ensure you are using tooltips and not cell content expanding feature. Your grid should use appropriate __EGBS_EX_CELL_TOOLTIPS_*** and/or __EGBS_EX_CELL_EXPANDING_*** style sets.

You should use a CExtGridWnd-derived class which handles WM_MOUSEMOVE messages. It should have a CExtPopupMenuTipWnd tooltip member and display it over particular grid cells using the CExtPopupMenuTipWnd::Show() method when the mouse is moved over the grid window. This means your grid window should keep the rectangle coordinates of the grid cell which is covered by the mouse. The CExtGridBaseWnd::HitTest() method performs hit testing. The CExtGridWnd::GridCellRectsGet() method allows you to get the entire cell rectangle and/or rectangles of cell parts. Using these two methods you can detect which grid cell is covered by the mouse and show tooltip for it. If the mouse is moved to some short distance and still covers the same cell, then you should not show tooltip for it. You should not think about hiding tooltip at all because it destroys itself automatically (the CExtPopupMenuTipWnd::Show() method has cell rectangle in parameters what allows tooltip window to hide itself when mouse is moved outside rectangle).

Do you have an example for that ?


If yes, could you mail it to me ?


Thanks

This kind of tooltips is not supported in the grid window. It should be implemented by handing mouse movement events over the grid window and displaying the tooltip control hosted in your code.
