This message retrieves the maximum width for a ToolTip window.

Syntax 

TTM_GETMAXTIPWIDTH 
wParam = 0;

lParam = 0;

Parameters

wParam

Not used. Set to 0.

lParam

Not used. Set to 0.

Return Value

An integer value indicates the maximum ToolTip width, in pixels. -1 indicates that no maximum width is set.

Remarks

The value for the maximum ToolTip width does not indicate the actual width of the ToolTip window. Rather, if a ToolTip string exceeds the maximum width, the control splits the text into multiple lines, using spaces to determine line breaks. If the control cannot split the text into multiple lines, the control displays the text on a single line. The length of this line can exceed the maximum ToolTip width.

Requirements

Windows Embedded CE Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later
