Jeremy, try this. It works on my machine (Win2k, AP 626). Just mouse over the
button and the tip should should up in a few seconds. BTW, I have been able to
dynamically change tip's within a systray menu, but have not tried on a
standard control (button, etc).
use Win32::GUI;
my $Window = new Win32::GUI::Window (
-name => "Window",
-topmost => 1,
-left => 300,
-dialogui => 1,
-top => 400,
-width => 222,
-height => 235,
-text => "Test",
# ....
-events =>
{
Terminate => sub { print "Dying\n"; return -1 },
#Activate => sub { print "here I am!\n"; },
},
#-onMinimize => sub { print "no please!\n"; },
);
$Window->AddDateTime(
-top => 1,
-left => 1,
-width => 180,
-height => 25,
-name => "dateFromT",
-events =>
{
#Click => sub { print "Got a Click\n"; },
LostFocus => sub { print "Lost Focus\n"; },
},
-onClick => sub { print "Got a Click\n"; },
-onChange => sub { print "Got a Click\n"; },
);
$Window->AddButton(
-name =>"but",
-top => '30',
-left => '1',
-text => "TipTest",
-tip => "This is a Tip!",
-width => 150,
-height => 25,
);
#$Window->dateFromT->CheckBox(1);
$Window->dateFromT->Format('MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss');
$Window->Enable();
$Window->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog;
