[Solved] Tooltip doesn't draw!

[JonLord]

Hi again. I've already figured out how to do the other stuff. Now I have some trouble with the "tooltips". I'm using the 'GlossySerpent' skin , but it doesn't display the tooltips. From what I've read, it doesn't invoke the events TooltipActive and TooltipInactive

Here's part of the code;

When I set default tooltip

Code: Select all

      CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext().setDefaultTooltipType("GlossySerpent/Tooltip");


When I render the tooltip, forging a setVisible(true) to show it! (Fix??)

Code: Select all

   CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext().getDefaultTooltipObject()
      ->update(Time::getSingleton().getElapsedTimef());

   CEGUI::System::getSingleton().renderAllGUIContexts();


LookNFeel of Tooltip's GlossySerpent

Code: Select all

I'm using v0.8.7. I used 0.8.2 version and it doesn't draw it too.

I solved it!
The problem was in injectPulse, i only called for System and i had to called for GUICOntext too.

Thanks

Hah , i actually wanted to suggest that next The Tooltip relies on the correct time being entered, a lot of other elements are not affected by time.

Thanks for posting the solution.
