ToolstripControlHost Tooltip problem

Hi,
I'm using the toolstripcontrolhost to host a composite custom control.
When I test the custom control outside of the toolstrip the tooltips for the constituent controls appear fine. But they do not display when the composite control is added to a toolstripcontrol host.
It doesn't matter whether the toolstripcontrol hosts' own tooltiptext property is set - the constituent contols' tooltip.show methods are never called.
Is this by design/is there a workaround ?
Thanks for your help.
Jon

You may try subclassing the control / host to listen to TTN_SHOW message, and invoke the tooltip.show method to bring it up.

Hope this helps.

I've subclassed the toolstripcontrolhost to host my own custom control in a tool strip (as Host is intended to do). the TooltipText problem still persists. Even creating a Tooltip component on the form, then setting tooltip for the Hosted Control to be what
I want does not work.

Tooltip problem

HI all
I am facing a problem using a tool tip on tile list image.I am using flex 3. i need to display some data in custom tooltip.as i used itemrenderer to display the image in tile list it is possible by using simple tooltip.but unable to use custom one.If required I can show the code i used to display image.

Tooltip Problem in FireFox 7

Hi , I got this problem a week ago, as in this picture :
https://sites.google.com/site/ssstrong/Untitled.jpg?attredirects=0
and in other locations of the applications the tooltip won't appear at all ..
in the safe mode , it works fine without problem , but in the normal mode, i tried disable all plugin and extensions but the problem persists , i returned to Firefox 6 and the same problem also, i uninstalled Firefox completely and the same persists...
I am using Windows 7 SP1 X64 ...
Thank You

In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Tooltips problem

hi
My Forms Builder interface itself is not showing the tooltips for its buttons.For example when I take pointer upon button(+),it does not display text "Create" It displays black box .I think this becoz balck text is written on black back color.Am using win98 and oracle 7.
Before, Forms Builder interface was showing the tooltips for its buttons properly.
Am facing this problem since I exported (Access 2000) table to oracle 7.
thanks

Hi,
As you said, you can reinstall GPU drivers to resolve the issue temporarily.
So, I think it may be caused by graphic driver.
I suggest we try to install the latest or beta version to test it.
Meanwhile, I suggest you download the driver from
manufacturer website.
If the issue still persists, I suggest we wait the update for this graphics driver.
Thank you for your understanding.

Yeah i always use latest drivers, also there was an update, issue persist.
I really don't think it's GPU Drivers.

Spry tooltip problem in IE 7 & IE 8

Does the Spry tooltip have a browser incompatibility with IE 7 and IE 8, or is there something on my test page that interferes with the function of the tooltip?
I inserted a tooltip in this page using DW CS5--very straightforward as shown on every tutorial I have found:
http://www.piie.com/dev/cite-this.htm
Yet in IE 7 and IE 8, the tooltip appears at the bottom of the page at all times. There is no activity when mousing over the trigger area ("Cite This", upper right of main content area). It is as if the js / css files are not working, so I put in absolute paths for those files.
In any event, I know that the js / css Spry tooltip files are live because in FF 3, the tooltip works exactly as expected.
The Spry tooltip files I am using show they are the latest version, 1.6.1.
Is this a browser bug, or is there something on my page that is interfering with the Spry tooltip in IE 7 and IE 8? I have tried in vain to find any information. Thanks for any pointers anyone can give me.

I checked here to find out why my
www.museumsforeningen-lf.dk works nicely with spry tooltips in firefox but not at all in explorer 8 (and didn't get any the wiser). the base jpg kind of jumps a bit but no
tips or anything. I've only just got my eyes on this spry tooltips - and have basically totally
dumped using explorer myself because it's too troublesome whatever you want to do (reading papers without a gazillion errors in particular) but
I need to accomodate the potential viewers who might use explorer (it's a
museum 'friends of'' webpage).
can this spry stuff work in explorer at all? I've tried using explorer without add-ons and with various settings in security but nothing worked. can something be done via the code - the old dears in the friends group probably aren't up to much change in settings on their browsers, but they sure do use the net.

Historical Usage Image - * as tooltip problem

Hello Everyone,
We have upgraded our system from 4.4 E to 5.1 SP08 Patch Level 1 and observed that Historical Usage image which displays on the main screen after logging in the system is not visible, there is X mark in place of that image. When I move the mouse pointer over it, it displays the tool tip as *.
There was a problem with the company logo image which I have fixed, but dont know how to fix this OOTB image. Please advise steps to fix it.
Thanks !
******************RESOLVED*******************
The problem is resolved now.
It was a problem because the jcschart.jar was not specified in the Application server as a classpath.
Once I have set the classpath in app server and restarted it, the bar charts are working now.

Is there any way to solve this tooltip issue besides addFocusListener?

Following up with my last posted thread that now has the record of 23 responds and none relevant to my question, I'm posting another one right now.
I've managed to reproduce the issue I was talking about and have the code. Basically, my problem was that tooltip was causing popups to go behind the main frame. You can reproduce this by moving your mouse on the table and generate tooltips, after you comment out the focus listener, which is the solution. If table is in focus, tooltips are generated, otherwise, no tooltips.
What I'm wondering about if anyone knows any other way besides the focus listener to implement this fix and check to see if the table has focus? The reason I'm asking this, although it seems to work fine on this code, is because in my application at work, which has more than 10 panels in it, this table's tooltip problem affects all those other panels as well, not just this story popup on the table. When I open any of the other panels, the table doesn't necessarily lose focus, and when I close them, the table won't necessarily gain back focus, which is what I want to see happen.
I'd appreciate your relevant suggestions and ideas to my problem. Thanks!

Following up with my last posted thread that now has the record of 23 responds and none relevant to my questionAs we told you in your last posting, your question didn't have enough relevant information for us to help solve the problem which is why we asked for a SSCCE.
I've managed to reproduce the issueSee what happens when you put your mind to creating a SSCCE, instead of wasting time with unnecessary comments complaining about the lack of help?
Basically, my problem was that tooltip was causing popups to go behind the main frameSorry I still don't see a problem or understand your problem. I've tried the code with and without the FocusListener. In both cases the "popup frame" is always displayed on top of the main frame. This is what I did:
a) place mouse on the table
b) wait for popup to display
c) click on table to show popup
In both cases the popup was displayed on top of the main frame.
When the FocusListener code was commented out, I could still get the tooltip. However, when the FocusListener was active, I could not get the tootip to redisplay after the popup was made the active window.
I'm using JDK6 on XP.
By the way, normally applications are written with a single JFrame. Additional "popups" would be created by using a JDialog and you would specify the frame as the owner of the dialog. Note this should prevent the dialog from displaying behind the frame.

Tooltips Not Appearing in Firefox

I searched for answer to this problem, which I thought must be common, but didn't find anything.
I added a tooltip using Dreamweaver CS4 insert Spry tooltip option. The tooltip appears with Internet Explorer 8, but not Firefox 3.5.7. The tooltip isn't blank, there's no sign of it. I tried it on two different systems running Windows 7. I have another web page with Spry tabs that works just fine.
Thanks for any help,
Curt Rowe
P.S. Here's the code

I tried adding the title and it works fine. It's also a lot less overhead on page loads. It even looks better than the default tooltip. Does the title appear if the image display is turned off? If so I wouldn't need it and the alt description.
I'd still like to solve the problem in case I need to use it again. I moved the image up and it works. Totally strange. I tried movng the image down a few lines at a time. The tooltip appears to stay in the same place on the page. When the image is at it's original location, I think the tooltip is displaying so far up the page that it's not visible. I tried adding a vertical off set to bring it down, but it has no effect.
I also noticed that the tooltip works in Dreamweaver Live View without moving it.
I am not sure about the title appears if the image is turned off; but for XHTML compliancy the alt attribute is required.
If you want to know more on the title attribute have a look here and you will notice that this attribute is a very much overlooked one.This attribute because it can be used on most (X)HTML tags, makes the normal use of Spry tooltips redundant.
As far as finding a solution for the FF/Spry Tooltip problem, I think the style rules need to be tweeked. At the moment they are geared towards IE, leaving the likes of FF in the lurch.
Whatever, I do not need Spry tooltips.

CS5 12.0.3 Update

Just checked within the CS5 application (Help > Updates) and advised that 12.0.3 is available. When following the 'more info' link within the update dialogue it leads to the Adobe updates page where no mention (hence no further info) is made regarding this update. I ran the update anyway and now upon start-up the splash screen shows the running version to be 12.0.3
Unusual for nothing to appear on this forum first about this and even more unusual for the 'more info' link to lead to nothing. Strange that Adobe should release an update on a Saturday (?)

The logic is purely this: The tooltip problem was OBVIOUS to hundreds of thousands of users - basically anyone who uses Photoshop on XP. By contrast that actions bug will likely only ever be seen by a relatively few users worldwide.
Note how many people reported each issue here on this forum.
Clearly I'm not alone in perceiving the difference here. Adobe's actions speak louder than these words. Don't I recall that the particular Actions bug in question has actually been around for several major versions now?
Please don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to say they shouldn't fix it. But there are many other problems they didn't fix either. No doubt they assess the risk of fixing any particular bug against other factors. Maybe fixing something in the Actions engine is likely to break other things.
I did see they fixed the color management engine crash I reported, so it's not like they're not listening. They're just prioritizing their work.

ToolTip positioning and volume 'hit' area problem

Hello,
I have been working on re-skinning the player that comes with Adobe's FMS, in flex builder 3 and I would really appreciate some help on the following issues.
1. Positioning the tooltips. I have figured out how to change the style of these (text, background opacity etc) via the embedStyle.css, no problems with that. However, I just cannot figure out how to actually reposition them from the default position of the bottom right.
2. My volume control (volume slider) sits above my progress bar on the players GUI. You can drag both of these to adjust. However, when the progress bar is under the volume bar the progress bar loose it's interactivity. The volume slider only has a height of 2, but it appears that it's actual button 'hit' area is sitting over the progress bar.
I have do a stack of googling on these but I am still hitting a wall with it. Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

To add to this question: What is the best way to continue the animation until the end when the user exits the hit area instead of just jumping back to the Up state?
Thanks

Tooltip display problems in Safari

I'm using Tooltips for and onscreen help. The page has a lot
of other spry elements in it, like multiple Collapsable Panels
& Tabbed Panels. I'm getting 2 different issues depending on
which version of the Tooltip I'm using.
Version 1.6: When the page loads, the Tooltips are all
showing and it blows out the formatting for the Collapsable Panels
(they no longer display where they are supposed to and are
elsewhere on the page.) If I collapse the panels then reopen them,
they go back to where they are supposed to. Also, when I mouse over
any of the help triggers, the Tooltip displays at the top of the
screen despite the x & y offsets.
Version 1.5: The page loads completely fine. I don't have the
issues I do with v1.6 but I still get the Tooltips displaying at
the top of the screen and not where they are supposed to.
The Tooltips display fine in Firefox (mac & pc) &
IE7. I'm using Safari 3 on both mac & pc.
Any suggestions? Thanks and sorry for the long post.

Can you please save the file where you still reproduce the

on labs to see if the problem is still there?
Or if your page doesn't contain something private can you
give us a link to check it with the new js file?
Thank you,
Diana
Hi Diana,
When i posted that reply i allready updated it with the
latest version of the SpryTooltip.js.
(current version in the lab is still 0.4, and my file version
is the same);
The url with a reproduction of the issue was allready posted
by me, but it might have been unclear. So here it is again.
I would say its becous of the offsetX: "8px",
offsetY:"-10px", that Safari doesnt get the top value passed true.
becouse the left position is fine, only the top is off.
I dont have any live html source checker for Safari, like
firebug for FF and web developertool bar for IE.
(i hear that the nightly builds have a inspect element
feature. so ill try that o.o)

setting the style through the main style sheet.
ToolTip {
background-color:#da0303;
border-style:solid;
