CListCtrl::GetToolTips

  • Article

Retrieves the tooltip control that the list view control uses to display tooltips.

CToolTipCtrl* GetToolTips( ) const;

Return Value

A pointer to a CToolTipCtrl object to be used by the list control. If the Create member function uses the style LVS_NOTOOLTIPS, no tooltips are used, and NULL is returned.

Remarks

This member function implements the behavior of the Win32 message LVM_GETTOOLTIPS, as described in the Windows SDK. The MFC implementation of GetToolTips returns a CToolTipCtrl object, which is used by the list control, rather than a handle to a tooltip control.

Example

        CToolTipCtrl* pTip = m_myListCtrl.GetToolTips();
        if (NULL != pTip)
        {
            pTip->UpdateTipText(_T("I'm a list view!"), &m_myListCtrl,
                IDD_MYLISTCTRL);
        }
