Title: Tooltip does nolt work in Unicode
Post by: spertulo on January 08, 2011, 09:20:33 AM

Hi All!

I made a tooltip window how described in Iczelion, lesson 27. It works well in 1-byte code.
But if I try to use Unicode variant (with SendMessageW), only the first symbol of tip is shown because
it is followed by a zero byte. I suspect, the Unicode variant is not implemented at all.
I tested it in WinXP and Windows 7.

Do anyone have experience with it?

Thanks for any answer.

Why not some simple macros at the end of the WM_CREATE handler?

      ToolTips hButton1, "Press this button"
      ToolTips hButton2, wRes$(103)      ; use a resource string, wide version
      ToolTips hEdit, wRes$(104)      ; type some text
      ToolTips end
