digitalmars.D.learn - Chris E. Miller ToolTip (D1)
Greetings.
Trying to see if anyone can help with this one...
Chris Miller wrote a wonderful set of libraries for Windows
programming. One of the libraries was a ToolTip library that
when called against an object, when the mouse hovered over that
object, it will display the string that it was set for that
sepcific object. Everything is working fine with the exception
that I would like to break the string set to an specific object
to multiple lines. For example, I have set that ToolTip to be,
a=n (not approved)
o=n (not outlooked)
t>0 (total > 0)
but, when I set it, and have tried multiple ways, they all
display in one line, ie.
a=n (not approved)o=n (not outlooked)t>0 (total > 0)
The code I am using is,
ttip = new ToolTip;
ttip.setToolTip(this, "Testing...");
ttip.setToolTip(find,
r"
a=n (not approved invoices
o=n (not outlooked projects/tasks
"
);
I have also tried to use \n and \r\n. Any other thoughts?

Does anyone knows if this is even possible? Thanks.

Not many D1 users are still here :( I personally, have zero idea what library are you even speaking about.

Ok, thanks for the reply. By the way, before D2, there was D1. We should always remember our ancestors. :-) josé

You have to manually set the tooltip's max width to a fixed value
using the tooltip handle and Win32 API, by doing this you're
telling the tooltip object it is a multiline tooltip and from now
on it will accept \r\n as end of line:
ttip = new ToolTip;
SendMessageA(ttip.handle, TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH, 0, 250);
ttip.setToolTip(find, "a=n (not approved)\r\no=n (not
outlooked)\r\nt>0 (total > 0));
That's it, it works (i tested it).
By the way, the DFL version on Chris' site is for D1 but there's
this version for D2 (i use both):

Now, dfl can use the dmd 2.065
you can see the fork :
https://github.com/FrankLIKE/dfl
fork(from https://github.com/Rayerd/dfl/)
Waiting Miller commit it.

Sorry for my tardiness in respond, Heinz. And thanks for the
help. By the way, for those out there that are not Windows
friendly like me, :-), I used the following to make it work.
SendMessageA(ttip.handle, 0x0400 + 24, 0, 250);
Since I got
Error: undefined identifier TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH
when building the code. Thanks again, Heinz.
