This message associates a ToolTip control with a toolbar. To send this message, call the SendMessagefunction.

Syntax 

TB_SETTOOLTIPS

wParam = (WPARAM) (HWND) 
hwndToolTip;

lParam = 0;

Parameters

hwndToolTip

Handle to the ToolTip control.

lParam

Set to zero.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

Any buttons added to a toolbar before sending the TB_SETTOOLTIPS message will not be registered with the ToolTip control. This is consistent with the Windows-based desktop and is the preferred use of TB_SETTOOLTIPS.

The following behavior is also supported by TB_SETTOOLTIPS for backwards compatibility with versions prior to Windows CE .NET 4.2. The TB_SETTOOLTIPS message in Windows Embedded CE can take both a wParamand an lParam. The wParamrepresents the number of ToolTip strings to associate with the toolbar, and the lParamis the array of strings to be displayed as ToolTips.

In earlier Windows Embedded CE versions, only toolbar buttons could have ToolTip strings; menus and combo boxes could not.

The TB_SETTOOLTIPS message uses the memory address passed in the lParamparameter. Do not release the memory allocated for the ToolTip string array until the program exits.

Requirements

Header commctrl.h
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 1.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
