toolbar tool tips

[pblase]

Does anybody know how to turn on the tool tips (the one-line notes that appear when you put the mouse cursor over a button or toolbar item) for the toolbar in a program that I've written? I can load the toolbar fine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to turn the tips on.

I don't know about toolbar tips, but it reminded me of another bug I haven't
reported to NI: tooltips are still buggy in CVI 2010 on Linux: they open a
small window _under_ the current panel. And the window if of a wrong type
(with too many decorations).

Sorry I didn't answer your question.

Toolbar tooltips are specified by the Description parameter of the Toolbar_InsertItem function or the TOOLBAR_ATTR_DESCRIPTION attribute. Setting the TOOLBAR_ATTR_DESCRIPTION to NULL disables the tooltip. A good example of toolbar tooltips can be found in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\CVI2010\samples\userint\custctrl\toolbar\tooldemo.cws example.

Guillaume, could you describe your problem in a little more detail or provide an example?
