How do I provide prompt information for controls in the dialog box?

[Question]

When the user does not know the specific functions of your button, the toolbar prompt is a good method.

[Solution]

The prompt function is implemented by ctooltipctrl In the MFC class library.

[Implementation Program]

Assume that you have a project named my. First, create a button. In resourceview, double-click dialog and add the button. The default value is idc_button1. Implement the corresponding function of the pretranslatemessage message.

Class cmydlg: Public cdialog

{

Public:

Ctooltipctrl m_tooltips;

...............

};

 

Bool cmydlg: oninitdialog ()

{

Cdialog: oninitdialog ();

 

// Todo: add extra initialization here

 

Cbutton * pbutton;

Pbutton = (cbutton *) getdlgitem (idc_button1 );

M_tooltips.create (this );

M_tooltips.addtool (pbutton, "This is a tooltips text for this button ");

Return true; // return true unless you set the focus to a control

}

 

Bool cmydlg: pretranslatemessage (MSG * PMSG)

{

// Todo: add your specialized code here and/or call the base class

Switch (PMSG-> message)

{

Case wm_lbuttondown:

Case wm_lbuttonup:

Case wm_mousemove:

M_tooltips.relayevent (PMSG );

}

Return cdialog: pretranslatemessage (PMSG );

}

Okay. Run it.
