Dear Sir./Madam.,

How to add tooltips to all tabs in a tooltab container?

Thanks!

The tab control can display a tooltip for its items if the tab control is configured to show tab items without scrolling and stretch all tab items into entire available width. In this case, if there are too many tab items in the tab window, they may have enough less widths and text on tab items can become displayed partially. As a result, the tab window displays partially shown text of tab items in tooltips. For instance, you can see a tooltip over tabs inside a tabbed group of resizable control bars if this group has 3-4 tabs and less possible width. It’s possible to reproduce the same in the tab window used inside a tabbed toolbar. Unfortunately the tab window does not support custom assigned tooltips. We will consider your message as a feature request.
