Tooltips using DevExpress

Hello,

Last year I asked this question and has been answered.

http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=10920

this.GetType().InvokeMember("SetState", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance, null, this, new object[] { 524288, false });

Now I can't get same solution work. It has several differences as follows:
1) Now I am using UserControl, and use Advance Excel Task Pane on top of it.
2) The tooltip that I need is on Button control and toolbar (bar manager) control.

I put that solution in both Userontrol and Advance Task Pane's Init. I use DevExpress 13.2.5, with VS 2013 and Office 2010 32-bit.

Please let me know if you can find solution.

Thanks
Albert

Line below put in ADXOlForm subclass constructor (your previous thread) works form me. I'm developing Outlook Add-in with Devexpress controls.

this.GetType().InvokeMember("SetState", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance, null, this, new object[] { 524288, false });

Hello Muhamed & Andrei,

Thanks for your reply. Still not working. Forget to tell you that I use Excel Advance Task pane.

The structure is a bit complicated:
1) Top layer is Excel Advance Task Pane
2) Underneath is UserControl contains TabPages (DevExpress control)
3) Underneath each tab pages, there is another UserControl (One UserControl per tab)
4) The toolbar is on second UserControl (#3)



Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports AddinExpress.XL
  
Public Class MyExcelAdvanceTaskPane

  Public Sub New()
    MyBase.New()

    InitializeComponent()
    Me.[GetType]().InvokeMember("SetState", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic Or System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod Or System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance, Nothing, Me, New Object() {524288, False})

  End Sub

End Class



Regards.
Albert

Hello Andrei,

It is now working, but only if I do following sequence:
1) Load Excel and Add-in (at this stage, tooltip doesn't show up)
2) Switch/click to another open application (i.e. Visual Studio, Notepad). No need to to anything here.
3) Switch back to Excel and the add-in. Now the tooltip shows up.

Are you aware of such strange behavior, and the solution ? Do you still need me to send the project for investigation ?

Regards.
Albert
