Unfortunately, the examples that I have are not suitable for including
in documentation, as I pass things through a couple layers of wrappers
before it gets to a real Win32::GUI call. But the gist of it is just
to add
-tip => 'Configuration options menu',
Thanks for the reply - I created a simple window, with one button with
the tip option included. Still nothing…tried it under 5.6, and 5.8,
both with 665. I’m on XP. Do I need to create event handlers or
anything? I am just being stupid!?
Perhaps, I should say what I think should happen - just in case I’m
barking up the wrong tree - when the mouse hovers over the button, the
little yellow box should appear with the text that was specified in
the -tip option?
Indeed, that is the sort of behavior you should expect, and that I get,
with Win2K SP3 or SP4 (worked on both), Perl 5.8 build 805, Win32::GUI
build 0.0.665.
Oh, and maybe I should mention that tooltips don't _always_ show up. It
seems that if another process is consuming all the CPU cycles, that
tooltips are not displayed during that time. Maybe it is some
"benevolent" way of shedding CPU activity since it is so loaded already?
However, when I'm using a program that has tooltips, and they don't
show up, I get aggravated.... but I do have a program that periodically
slurps up all my CPU cycles, so I guess it is my own fault... but still,
I think the tooltips should show up if you leave your mouse there long
enough.
