Tooltips

[ustk]

Hi,

When I set a tooltip for a button, it works fine.
However, it doesn't work with sliders. Is there something to do in particular?

Also, I can't figure out how to remove the tooltip from the Filter Display in a floating tile... Anything on this as well?

In short, I have tooltips where I don't want to, and nothing where I want...

Thanks!

@ustk Did you ever figure out how to display tooltips for sliders?

@dustbro Can't do it, it's broken.

@ustk Hey Man
To Remove Tooltip From The Filter Display , Simply Cover The Filter Display With A Blank Transparent Panel / Button

[ustk]

Yep it's still broken
@Christoph-Hart Does the v3 blueprint include a fix for this?

Bump bump

Hey,

Has the slider/tooltip conundrum been figured out yet, either in terms of a fix or workaround at all? I'm currently unable to display a sliders tooltip text when I try...

Thanks

@bm_forum Which version of HISE are you using?

[BM_FORUM]

@d-healey 2.1.0 (10 Feb 2022) BV: 650

[d.healey]

@bm_forum master or develop branch?

[BM_FORUM]

@d-healey Fairly certain it was Master

[d.healey]

@bm_forum It works in here in develop, so give that a try. I also posted a video recently about how to make a custom tooltip panel.

[BM_FORUM]

@d-healey Ah I bet that's it, develop branch. I just additionally tried your scripted version (very useful video, thanks) and I don't appear to have access to '.getCurrentTooltip' in the script editor either with a returned error of no known function. So that whole tooltip issue must not be resolved in the master...

Thanks for your help!

@d-healey Hmmm... I just built the Develop version (2.1.0) and no luck (scripted and unscripted tooltips). It shows all HISE's Tooltips and also all of my buttons, but not sliders/knobs... There's every chance I had built develop the first time, I'm not 100% sure. But if you're on develop and it's working fine then you'd hope it would here too.
Is it worth building the release version (2.0.0)? Though if I do that will I not be able to open my current project?

Thanks!

Definitely not.

How many versions of the HISE source code do you have on your system?

[BM_FORUM]

@d-healey Just the two now, the first one and this new build.

[d.healey]

@bm_forum I reckon you have not built the develop branch. Never have more than 1 copy of the source on your system at a time - unless you know 100% what you're doing - it's the root of most of these kinds of problems.

[BM_FORUM]

@d-healey You were absolutely right... Not sure how I managed that one, doh! I've been missing out, the development build is much more slick. Thanks again.

I recommend using git for managing different versions of HISE as well as your own projects. It makes life much easier when switching between branches. (I have a couple of videos about it)
