Dialog Manager: Set the tooltip string to a custom value? (DGSetItemTooltipString)

Sam Karli — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:42:32 GMT

As I see, for Dialog Manager, the tooltip string for any dialog element seems to be readonly, there is no DGSetItemTooltipString. (While, interestingly, in the GDL world, it's a widely used commonplace to manipulate a GDL object's UI element's tooltip to any custom value.)

Isn't there a way to set a tooltip for a custom (non GRC-defined) string?

See
ItemObserver::ItemToolTipRequested (const ItemHelpEvent& ev, GS::UniString* toolTipText);
Or

PanelObserver::PanelToolTipRequested (const PanelHelpEvent& ev, GS::UniString* toolTipText);

Like this

class TabSettingLabelMain : private DG::UserItemObserver { private: virtual void ItemToolTipRequested (const DG::ItemHelpEvent& ev, GS::UniString* toolTipText); private: DG::UserItem mi_image_preview; }; TabSettingLabelMain::TabSettingLabelMain( ) : mi_image_preview( GetReference(), IMAGE_PREVIEW ) { mi_image_preview.Attach(*this); } void TabSettingLabelMain::ItemToolTipRequested(const DG::ItemHelpEvent& ev, GS::UniString* toolTipText) { if ( ev.GetSource() == &mi_image_preview ) { *toolTipText = str::CvtUni( m_block->image_path ); } }
