How to make a tooltip?

Postby tedlin01 » Wed May 06, 2009 19:00

Hello!
I have now been trying to make a tooltip but failed.

I have tried:

// Create tooltip
CEGUI::Tooltip * pTooltip = new CEGUI::Tooltip("TaharezLook/Tooltip", "CPHORA");
pTooltip->setDisplayTime( 5.0f );
pTooltip->setHoverTime( 1.0f );
pTooltip->setTooltipText("HEJ DIN FITTA");
pTooltip->setAlwaysOnTop( true );

// Add tooltip to my button
pbtn->setTooltip( pTooltip )
.. didn't work.

I have also tried
pbtn->setProperity("Tooltip", "TEXT");
.. didnt work.

I am using injectTimePulse as it's supposed to be used. What else is missing?
Please help me asap!

by using pbtn->setTooltipText("this is tooltip");
i managed to atleast get a stack overflow crash :P
Is there anyway I can get pass this or is it impossible to use the tooltipsystem in 0.6.2?

Okay, and you also called 'setDefaultTooltip()'?

This is pretty much the situation. Though I'm somewhat reluctant to do a 0.6.3 release, since I really wanted 0.7.0 to be next - but that's taking forever to get done :(
