.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / October 2005change toolwindow caption tooltip
Dear all, is it possible to change a toolwindow tooltip (when mouse points on the caption of tabbed window) to something different from caption text? Thanks in advance, Boni > Dear all, > is it possible to change a toolwindow tooltip (when mouse points on > the caption of tabbed window) to something different from caption > text? Thanks in advance, Boni Hi Boni, I'm failing to see tooltips on tool windows at all. I assume that you're asking about the tooltips that appear when you mouse over a document window (the windows that appear in the tabbed document area)? AFAIK, there isn't a way within an add-in or VSIP to customize the tooltip on a document window. You can add adjust the text in the caption. But I don't think that you can specifically change the tooltip.  SignatureBest Regards, Dustin Campbell Developer Express, Inc Hi Boni and Dustin, The tooltip displayed when hovering over a document window's tab is actually controled by the VSHPROPID_pszMkDocument property. This is typically the moniker passed when opening an editor for a particular document. In the case where a toolwindow is displayed as a document window, you might be able to set this explicitly by calling IVsWindowFrame.SetProperty on the VSHPROPID_pszMkDocument property. I haven't tried it, but it might actually work for you here.

Hi Ed, I did see this property and realized that the tool tip was being generated from it. I tested setting this property and found that it fails with an HRESULT of: 0x80020003. So, it appears that this can't be done. In addition, I would expect that setting this property would be considered a bad idea anyway since I suspect that there are other packages that rely on it being accurate. SignatureBest Regards, Dustin Campbell Developer Express, Inc Hi Ed, thanks for your reply. Is it possible to add a tooltip to a "non document" window caption? > Hi Boni and Dustin, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > This post is 'AS IS' with no warranties, and confers no rights.
