[Bug 13159] New: tooltips won't show up on partly hidden items

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13159

Summary: tooltips won't show up on partly hidden items
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: comctl32
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

To see the bug, open regedit drag the bar that separates registry tree from
values so that it partly covers registry branches names. If you use native
comctl32.dll or in windows you'll see tooltips over these partly covered items,
displaying full item name. Wine won't show anything.

This is true with listview also.

In some applications that have big listview tables with long values this bug
becomes pretty annoying (when you constantly have to change comlumn widths etc
in order to see complete values).

Maybe this bug was reported earlier, but I have not found it.

This problem still exists in wine-1.1.6. I know, that listview an treeview are
among least implemented comctl32 components
(http://www.winehq.org/site/status_ui) but, maybe these tooltips could be
implemented without much trouble?

Umm, did you look at the audit dates on that page?

Well, no :)

But when you look at current <a
href="http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/comctl32/listview.c#L33">listview
TODO</a>, you'll see that it is pretty much impressive, as well as <a
href="http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/comctl32/rebar.c#L30">rebar's
one</a>. Possibly these are also out of date, but I've checked for few of these
todo list items, and have not found them being implemented.

Other controls don't have such big todo lists.

There are 90 open bugs related to comctl32. 30 of them are about listview and
treeview. That is 1/3 of all comctl32 bugs, only in 2 components. Another ~20
components take the leftover 2/3.

I might be wrong, but I see real problem here.

As regards to this bug, listview seems to have some kind of tooltips
implementation, but it does not seem to work as it should.

Treeview just have tooltip handle property declaration.

Way to reproduce it with treeview in control spy:

1. Run Tree View.exe.
2. Expand any item, for instance "Mercury"
3. Hover partly hidden item.
4. Native comctl would show you a tooltip. Builtin one won't.

Way to reproduce it with listview in control spy:

1. Run List View.exe
2. Set long text for some item so that it gets trimmed. For example:

MSG (LVM_SETITEMTEXT,
0,
LVITEM(0,0,0,0/0/0,0,"blah blah blah blah blah blah blah",127,0,0,0))

3. Hover that item.
4. Native comctl would show you a tooltip. Builtin one won't.

One of the things that I've already found is that builtin comctl's listview and
treeview controls do not issue TTM_RELAYEVENT on mouse-related messages.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760403(VS.85).aspx

Another thing is that native comctl creates tooltip for listview on listview
creation, builtin does that only on request. This is being achieved with
COMCTL32_CreateToolTip which creates empty tooltip with no tool. This makes all
relayed events useless, since TOOLTIPS_RelayEvent calls
TOOLTIPS_GetToolFromPoint which returns -1 for empty tooltips (with no tools).

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.29 or newer) wine?

This bug has not been updated for two years by OP. Is this still an issue i
current (1.5.4) or newer wine ? You may also close this as abandoned if you
feel that that this is issue is no longer relevant to you.
