CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

well i want to show a tooltip on a button. I created the button & then used the following line.

btn->setTooltipText("asasas");

now using windows timer im executing the following line every 1 second

CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectTimePulse(1);

but still no tooltip is showing wen i move the mouse onto the button.

Any Pointers?

Ok i got the solution.i missed this

Tooltip* tt = (Tooltip*)WindowManager::getSingleton().createWindow((utf8*)"TaharezLook/Tooltip", (utf8*)windowName );
btn->setTooltip(tt);

That's one way of doing it, though is not the way you want to be doing it for most 'normal' cases. What you probably really wanted was this:



This creates a 'shared' tool-tip which the system will use for all widgets. What you have done is perfectly valid, though is intended for cases where you want a particular widget to have a special custom tooltip.
