TreeView Control 2

[Salmano]

Hi !

I use VFP6 and TreeViewControl 6.
Do you know how could I disable the tooltips that appear when the text is larger than the tree width ?

Thank you.

Salmano,

I don't think you can (where there's a will there's a way maybe). The treeview doesn't have a property for setting them off, and setting showtips to .F. for the form doesn't affect the control. There may be a way to shut them off through API calls but I don't know it...I'm thinking that maybe if you had the hwnd to the control that maybe there is an API to send a message to it telling it to shut them off...I guess they thought it was such a good feature you wouldn't want to ever shut it off.

Mike,

This does not effect the treeview control.

I've already tried setting showtips to .F. and it's true, it doesn't affect the treeview control, unfortunately...

Thank you both !

Perhaps you may have better luck with the Outline Control to show a directory structure (untested). faq184-3096.

I was wondering... is it possible to write the text in treeview control on more than 1 line ? i've tried something like "aaa" + chr(13) + "bbb" but it doesn't work...

Got any ideea ?

This code tested under W2K

---------------------
Declare Long FindWindow in User32 ;
String cClass, String cTitle
Declare Integer SendMessage in User32 ;
Long nhWnd, Integer Msg, Integer wParam, Long lParam

*** Disable TreeView ToolTips if found
cToolTips = 'msvb_lib_tooltips'
SendMessage(FindWindow(cToolTips, Null), 0x10, 0, 0)
---------------------

AirCon,
Another excellent solution. Congratulations!
By the way, how did you know that the window class is 'msvb_lib_tooltips'? What tools do you use?

 

[craigsboyd]

Aircon,

I used Spy++ that comes with VS6 and found the class to be
'TreeView20WndClass', used it with your code and got the same wonderful result. As csandu00 asked what did you use to find the class name that you came up with. Also, interestingly enough...once you have shut the tooltips off if you set ShowTips to .T. it then DOES effect the treeview control. Well I gotta give you a star on this one...nice job.

I don't use any tools. I have my own code to list all the windows (like Spy++). This is how I get the class name (msvb_lib_tooltips).

SendMessage(hTreeView, TVM_GETTOOLTIPS, 0, 0)

Where: hTreeView is a handle to 'TreeView20WndClass'

By using this class name, we only need to find one window. Much shorter ways
