vstgui4 ToolTip madness

[Taron]

Hey all,
ToolTips in vstgui4 seem so easy...

Code: Select all

CFrame->enableTooltips(true);
...
UTF8StringPtr tipText = "some info";
knob->->setAttribute(kCViewTooltipAttribute, strlen(tipText) + 1, tipText);

One would think this is all it takes, especially when something like SAVIHost will immediately work just fine with this. But that seems to be nothing but a convenient illusion?!

Thus far nothing else will show them and I have no idea how to address that!?

HERE's A BIG: NEVERMIND!
I really never quite liked tooltips and figured out a nicer solution instead, but yeah... I shall let this be a warning for all those, who wanted to deal with them at some point... it's rough!
