Copy

// Custom CBCGPToolTipParams:

CBCGPToolTipParams params;

params.m_bBoldLabel = m_bBoldLabel;

params.m_bDrawDescription = m_bDrawDescription;

params.m_bDrawIcon = m_bDrawIcon;

params.m_bRoundedCorners = m_bRoundedCorners;

params.m_bDrawSeparator = m_bDrawSeparator;

if (m_bCustomColors)

{

params.m_clrFill = RGB (255, 255, 255);

params.m_clrFillGradient = RGB (228, 228, 240);

params.m_clrText = RGB (61, 83, 80);

params.m_clrBorder = RGB (144, 149, 168);

}

theApp.GetTooltipManager ()->SetTooltipParams (BCGP_TOOLTIP_TYPE_ALL, RUNTIME_CLASS (CBCGPToolTipCtrl), &params);

// Use a custom tooltip class (CMyToolTipCtrl is a custom tooltip class):

theApp.GetTooltipManager ()->SetTooltipParams (BCGP_TOOLTIP_TYPE_ALL, RUNTIME_CLASS (CMyToolTipCtrl));

// Restore the standard tooltip:

theApp.GetTooltipManager ()->SetTooltipParams (BCGP_TOOLTIP_TYPE_ALL, NULL, NULL);

// Enable balloon-style tooltip:

CBCGPToolTipParams paramsBalloon; paramsBalloon.m_bBallonTooltip = TRUE;

theApp.GetTooltipManager ()->SetTooltipParams ( BCGP_TOOLTIP_TYPE_ALL, RUNTIME_CLASS (CBCGPToolTipCtrl), &paramsBalloon);
