Hi,
how can the alignment (default: centered) of a TooltipWindow be changed (to: left aligned)?
Thanks & cheers,

Presumably a custom LookAndFeel could do that.
... thats what I expected, but I couldn't see how this would be done other than overwriting both
void LookAndFeel_V2::drawTooltip (Graphics&, const String& text, int width, int height) override; void getTooltipSize (const juce::String& text, int& width, int& height) override;
which - if I don't oversee anything - is pretty much a hassle since the horizontal and vertical size of the formated multi line text needs to be estimated.
On the other hand
static TextLayout layoutTooltipText (const String& text, Colour colour) noexcept { const float tooltipFontSize = 13.0f; const int maxToolTipWidth = 400; AttributedString s; s.setJustification (Justification::centred); s.append (text, Font (tooltipFontSize, Font::bold), colour); TextLayout tl; tl.createLayoutWithBalancedLineLengths (s, (float) maxToolTipWidth); return tl; }
sets it explicitly to Justification::centred which could be a parameter to the look'n'feel class...
Cheers,
