Tooltips

[Carter_DC]

oyo, got a small issue with tooltips.
actually 2 issues, first one, I can't get to have my tooltip on the BOTOMRIGHT... BOTOM works like a charm, but botomright displays the tooltip on the right... not botom... (that's not a really big issue)

Btn:SetHandler("OnMouseEnter",function(AT_Guild_ChatBtn) ZO_Tooltips_ShowTextTooltip(AT_Guild_ChatBtn,BOTTOMRIGHT,AT_Guild.savedVariables.mainGuildName) end)

next issue, i don't get it, i can have a fully functionnal tooltip on a button control, but not on a Label ? thought they both inherit from control, right ? Or maybe i should use an other type of control to look like a label but allow me to have a tooltip ?

As for the first issue I have no idea. Maybe it won't fit to the screen so tooltip is moved somewhere else?

As for the label - do you have enabled mouse events for that label? If you don't, it will not do anything.
XML:

<Label name="whatever" mouseEnabled="true" />

Lua:

label:SetMouseEnabled(true)

This is due to how ZO_Tooltips_ShowTextTooltip translates the anchor point:

local SIDE_TO_TOOLTIP_SIDE =
{
    [TOP] = BOTTOM,
    [BOTTOM] = TOP,
    [left] = RIGHT,
    [right] = LEFT,
}
 
function ZO_Tooltips_ShowTextTooltip(control, side, ...)
    if side == nil then
        InitializeTooltip(InformationTooltip)
        ZO_Tooltips_SetupDynamicTooltipAnchors(InformationTooltip, control)
    else
        InitializeTooltip(InformationTooltip, control, SIDE_TO_TOOLTIP_SIDE[side], OFFSETS_X[side], OFFSETS_Y[side])
    end
 
    for i = 1, select("#", ...) do
        local line = select(i, ...)
        InformationTooltip:AddLine(line, "", ZO_TOOLTIP_DEFAULT_COLOR:UnpackRGB())
    end
end

You can do the calls yourself for better control:

InitializeTooltip(InformationTooltip, AT_Guild_ChatBtn, TOPLEFT, 0, 5, --[[ optional ]] BOTTOMRIGHT)
InformationTooltip:AddLine(AT_Guild.savedVariables.mainGuildName, "", ZO_TOOLTIP_DEFAULT_COLOR:UnpackRGB())
