Tooltips not showing up

Postby daves » Wed May 23, 2007 13:35

I'm trying to figure out the minimum that I have to do to have tooltips associated with my cegui widgets.

I've done the following and nothing works.

I call CEGUI::System::setDefaultToolTip("WindowsLook/Tooltip");
I set the tooltip text on my widget:

e.g. btn->setToolTipText("Hi");

When this didnt work I then associated the default tooltip with the button

btn->setTooltip(CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultTooltip());

What am I missing?

I'm using 0.5 btw.

Hi,

this link might mention something you have forgotten, such as injecting time maybe?

I am using

Code: Select all

   btn->setTooltipText("Test");
   btn->setTooltipType("WindowsLook/Tooltip");

without anything else (like setDefaultTooltip) and it works fine.

May not be injecting time pulses (just like keyboard and mouse events).

ah.. never even knew about "injecting time" but that certainly makes sense given the nature of a tooltip... will try that.
