Resending, as I'm not convinced this got through first time (apologies
if it's the second time you're seeing this, but it certainly did not
make the archives).
Regards,
Rob.

Robert,
Square window is okay with me.
OK, I need to apologise to Jeremy. It appears that balloon tooltips are
(partially) supported already - this must have been there for a long
time, but it's the first time I looked at this part of the code.
There's a missing method to set the balloon title and icon, but that can
be worked around:
#!perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::GUI();
# Win32::GUI::Constants (v1.04 only) does not include
# Tootip constants TTF_* and TTM_*
sub TTM_SETTITLE() {1056}
my $mw = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
-title => "Balloon Tooltips",
-size => [400,300],
);
# BUG1: There's no AddTooltip() method
my $tt = Win32::GUI::Tooltip->new(
-parent => $mw,
-balloon => 1, # undocumented -balloon option!
);
# BUG2: No SetTitle() method to set the balloon title
# and icon. Work around, use SendMessage instead:
# WPARAM: 0 - no icon
# 1 - Info Icon
# 2 - Warning Icon
# 3 - Error Icon
# LPARAM: title string
# note that title and icon are per tooltip window, and
# not per tool
$tt->SendMessage(TTM_SETTITLE, 1, "Balloon Tooltip Title");
$tt->AddTool(
-window => $mw,
-text => "Balloon tooltip body text",
-subclass => 1, # Should subclass be on by default?
);
$mw->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
$mw->Hide();
exit(0);
__END__
> Is there a way to have it popup when you
move the mouse over a specific item in a listview (not just the row or
column). Clicking on it would be okay also, probably would work better
if you click so you don't have windows popping up every time you move
the mouse.
On trying to put an example together to do this I've found a bug with
setting tools to be regions of windows, rather than whole windows. The
following should work to pop up balloons as you hover over each item,
but doesn't:
#!perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::GUI();
my $NUM_ITEMS = 4;
my $mw = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
-title => "Listview Tooltips",
-size => [400,300],
);
$mw->AddListView(
-name => "LV",
-width => $mw->ScaleWidth(),
-height => $mw->ScaleHeight(),
);
$mw->LV->InsertColumn( -text => "Column1", -width => 100);
my $tt = Win32::GUI::Tooltip->new(
-parent => $mw,
-balloon => 1,
);
for my $i (1..$NUM_ITEMS) {
$mw->LV->InsertItem(
-text => "Item $i",
);
my ($l,$t,$r,$b) = $mw->LV->GetItemRect($i-1);
$tt->AddTool(
-id => $i,
-hwnd => $mw->LV,
-text => "Item $i tooltip",
-rect => [$l, $t, $r, $b],
-subclass => 1,
);
}
$mw->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
$mw->Hide();
exit(0);
__END__
So here's an alternative using your 'click' proposal that does work.
There's lots of problems with the Tooltip method implementations (enough
that I'm not going to look at it now), but this code shows how to work
around it. Personally, having seen it, I don't like the 'click to see
tip' behaviour, but there should be enough here for you to alter it to
display during the mousemove event if that's what you want.
#!perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::GUI();

sub TTF_IDISHWND() {1}
sub TTM_TRACKACTIVATE() {1041}

my $NUM_ITEMS = 4;
my $tip_showing = undef;
my $mw = Win32::GUI::Window->new(

-name => "LV",
-width => $mw->ScaleWidth(),
-height => $mw->ScaleHeight(),
-onMouseDown => \&showTip,
-onMouseMove => \&hideTip,
);
$mw->LV->InsertColumn( -text => "Column1", -width => 100);
my $tt = Win32::GUI::Tooltip->new(
-parent => $mw,

-text => "Item $i",
);
}
$tt->AddTool(
-window => $mw->LV,
-track => 1,
-absolute => 1,
-text => "Body text",
);
$mw->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
$mw->Hide();
undef $tt;
undef $mw;

Enjoy!
