Trouble with ToolTips

General JUCE discussion
1

I’ve declared a TooltipWindow in my content compontent class but i can’t get it work. My tooltip clients are all set but im still getting nothing is there somthing more i need to do besides declaring a tooltipwindow in the main content component?

as long as a single tooltipWindow exists, it should work. Don’t add it to any components or anything - just create it. And make sure you’ve got rtti enabled in your app.

There’s an example of it in the demo app, in MainDemoWindow.cpp.

Ok i got that working but now i have a wierd problem

when ever i’m have the mouse over a component that not drived from the TooltipClient class my debugger streams out this error

Microsoft C++ exception: __non_rtti_object @ 0x0012f194.

any ideas?

thanks

Ah i see is rtti a compiler option?

Add -GR to your option list

you can always type “cl /?” from the command prompt to see the options,
or “cl /? | findstr RTTI” - to show you directly the option for RTTI for example.

now i need to read what rtti is all about

ditto !
I’m actually doing this thru pointers and new/delete, though I’m sure there must be a leaner solution ?

I’d probably go for a ScopedPointer

Thanks for the suggestion.

I also found that sending an empty string also bypass it :

This is very cool :slight_smile:
