Detailed Description

A window that displays a pop-up tooltip when the mouse hovers over another component.

To enable tooltips in your app, just create a single instance of a TooltipWindow object. Note that if you instantiate more than one instance of this class with the same parentComponent (even if both TooltipWindow's parentComponent is nil), you'll end up with multiple tooltips being shown! To avoid this use a SharedResourcePointer to instantiate the TooltipWindow only once.

For audio plug-ins (which should not be opening native windows) it is better to add a TooltipWindow as a member variable to the editor and ensure that the editor is the parentComponent of your TooltipWindow. This will ensure that your TooltipWindow is scaled according to your editor and the DAWs scaling setting.

The TooltipWindow object will then stay invisible, waiting until the mouse hovers for the specified length of time - it will then see if it's currently over a component which implements the TooltipClient interface, and if so, it will make itself visible to show the tooltip in the appropriate place.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TooltipWindow()

TooltipWindow::TooltipWindow ( Component * parentComponent = nullptr,
int millisecondsBeforeTipAppears = 700 )
explicit

Creates a tooltip window.

Make sure your app only creates one instance of this class, otherwise you'll get multiple overlaid tooltips appearing. The window will initially be invisible and will make itself visible when it needs to display a tip.

To change the style of tooltips, see the LookAndFeel class for its tooltip methods.

Parameters
parentComponentif set to nullptr, the TooltipWindow will appear on the desktop, otherwise the tooltip will be added to the given parent component.

TooltipWindow::~TooltipWindow ( )
override

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ setMillisecondsBeforeTipAppears()

void TooltipWindow::setMillisecondsBeforeTipAppears ( int newTimeMs = 700)
noexcept

Changes the time before the tip appears.

This lets you change the value that was set in the constructor.

◆ displayTip()

void TooltipWindow::displayTip ( Point< int > screenPosition,
const String & text )

Can be called to manually force a tip to be shown at a particular location.

The tip will be shown until hideTip() is called, or a dismissal mouse event occurs.

hideTip

◆ hideTip()

void TooltipWindow::hideTip ( )

Can be called to manually hide the tip if it's showing.

◆ getTipFor()

virtual String TooltipWindow::getTipFor ( Component & )
virtual

Asks a component for its tooltip.

This can be overridden if you need custom lookup behaviour or to modify the strings.

◆ getDesktopScaleFactor()

float TooltipWindow::getDesktopScaleFactor ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the default scale factor to use for this component when it is placed on the desktop.

The default implementation of this method just returns the value from Desktop::getGlobalScaleFactor(), but it can be overridden if a particular component has different requirements. The method only used if this component is added to the desktop - it has no effect for child components.

Reimplemented from Component.

◆ createAccessibilityHandler()

std::unique_ptr< AccessibilityHandler > TooltipWindow::createAccessibilityHandler ( )
overridevirtual

Override this method to return a custom AccessibilityHandler for this component.

The default implementation creates and returns a AccessibilityHandler object with an unspecified role, meaning that it will be visible to accessibility clients but without a specific role, action callbacks or interfaces. To control how accessibility clients see and interact with your component subclass AccessibilityHandler, implement the desired behaviours, and return an instance of it from this method in your component subclass.

The accessibility handler you return here is guaranteed to be destroyed before its Component, so it's safe to store and use a reference back to the Component inside the AccessibilityHandler if necessary.

This function should rarely be called directly. If you need to query a component's accessibility handler, it's normally better to call getAccessibilityHandler(). The exception to this rule is derived implementations of createAccessibilityHandler(), which may find it useful to call the base class implementation, and then wrap or modify the result.
