TOOLTIPCOLOR and TOOLTIPFONT problem

I have been having a problem with TOOLTIPCOLOR and TOOLTIPFONT for a long time
When I don't use these two commands the tooltip works fine.
When I use these two commands:
DCGETOPTIONS ;
TOOLTIPCOLOR GRA_CLR_BLACK,GRA_CLR_YELLOW TOOLTIPFONT "10.Consolas"
or just one of them
DCGETOPTIONS ;
TOOLTIPCOLOR GRA_CLR_BLACK, GRA_CLR_YELLOW
or
DCGETOPTIONS ;
TOOLTIPFONT "10.Consolas"
tooltip is duplicated or tripled and it looks confusing and ugly
as in the attached picture.

Does anyone know a solution to this problem, if there is a solution,
because it is necessary and important for me to use the tooltip
with a different font and a different background color.

I will look into this.

I recall someone showing me this years ago but he could not give me a sample program.

Here is my test program. It does not reproduce your problem.
Can you give me a complete program that I can compile and run?

Code: Select all

#INCLUDE "dcdialog.CH"

FUNCTION Main()

LOCAL GetList[0], GetOptions, dDate := Date()

@ 0,0 DCGET dDate TOOLTIP 'Enter a Date'

DCGETOPTIONS ;
TOOLTIPCOLOR GRA_CLR_BLACK,GRA_CLR_YELLOW TOOLTIPFONT "16.Consolas"

DCREAD GUI FIT TITLE 'Tooltip problem' OPTIONS GetOptions

RETURN nil

Try this latest version of DCLIPX.DLL:

dclipx.dll

Hi Roger,
Thanks for your reply.
I am sending additional information in a docx file.

Did you try the dclipx.dll link?

Bobby Drakos reminded me that I fixed this problem for him about 1 year ago.

Hi Roger
That's the first thing I did. I tried my application with DCLIPX.DLL which I downloaded from the forum (where you posted it). Nothing has changed. The problem is not solved.

Are you unable to give me a sample program that demonstrates the problem?

You claim that you have a large program with multiple windows and threads, but I have many customers with such applications and I am not hearing reports of this problem.

Hi,

I'm using the tooltips troughout my application and I never saw this problem.
I also have a different color and font.

I have this at the start of my application:

Code: Select all

	DCGETOPTIONS ;
	   ...
	   TOOLTIPCOLOR ABO_DARKGRAY, ABO_IVORY ;
	   TOOLTIPFONT '9.Arial' ;
           ...

   	DC_GetOptDefault(GetOptions)
