New in XML.. Tooltips doesn't work..

[Ayantir]

Heya here,

So another addon for me and this time a lot of XML inside it.

So, I've set a huge block which works a bit, but, I'm now having a problem on adding tooltips or make them "clickable"

Think it's a little forgive, but I looked a bit, so, here is my snippets..

PS: If I /zgoo mouse my button, it doesn't show my button, but the parent object, it's maybe that ?

A button that need a tooltip is delcared as you see below i've dropped a lot of buttons for the copy/paste).

<GuiXml>
    <Controls>
        <TopLevelControl name="SuperStarXML" mouseEnabled="true" movable="true" hidden="true" clampedToScreen="true">
            <Dimensions x="650" y="588" />
            <Anchor point="CENTER" relativePoint="CENTER" offsetX="0" offsetY="0" />
            <ClampedToScreenInsets left="16" top="0" right="0" bottom="0" />
            <Controls>
                <Backdrop name="$(parent)BG" integralWrapping="true">
                    <Anchor point="TOPLEFT" offsetX="-8" offsetY="-6"/>
                    <Anchor point="BOTTOMRIGHT" offsetX="4" offsetY="4"/>
                    <Edge file="EsoUI/Art/ChatWindow/chat_BG_edge.dds" edgeFileWidth="256" edgeFileHeight="256" edgeSize="32"/>
                    <Center file="EsoUI/Art/ChatWindow/chat_BG_center.dds" />
                    <Insets left="32" top="32" right="-32" bottom="-32" />
                </Backdrop>
                
                <Label name="$(parent)Title" font="ZoFontBookTablet" color="INTERFACE_COLOR_TYPE_TEXT_COLORS:INTERFACE_TEXT_COLOR_NORMAL">
                    <Anchor point="BOTTOM" relativeTo="$(parent)" relativePoint="TOP" offsetX="0" offsetY="50" />
                </Label>
                
                <Button name="$(parent)Lord8" font="ZoFontGame" color="INTERFACE_COLOR_TYPE_TEXT_COLORS:INTERFACE_TEXT_COLOR_NORMAL" horizontalAlignment="LEFT" mouseEnabled="true">
                    <Anchor point="RIGHT" relativeTo="$(parent)Lord" relativePoint="LEFT" offsetX="450" offsetY="0" />
                </Button>
                
            </Controls>
        </TopLevelControl>
    </Controls>
</GuiXml>

-- Yes I used some code here ^^
 
SuperStarXML:GetNamedChild(SuperStar.disciplines[disciplineIndex] .. skillIndex):SetText(pointsSpent) -- This code works well
SuperStarXML:GetNamedChild(SuperStar.disciplines[disciplineIndex] .. skillIndex):SetHandler("OnMouseEnter", function(self) SuperStar.ShowTooltip(self) end) -- Doesn't show anything
SuperStarXML:GetNamedChild(SuperStar.disciplines[disciplineIndex] .. skillIndex):SetHandler("OnMouseExit", function(self) SuperStar.HideTooltip(self) end)
 
function SuperStar.ShowTooltip(self)
 
    --InitializeTooltip(tooltipControl, [owner, point, offsetX, offsetY, relativePoint])
    InitializeTooltip(InformationTooltip, self, TOPRIGHT, 0, 5, BOTTOMRIGHT)
    --SetTooltipText(tooltipControl, text, [r, g, b])
    SetTooltipText(InformationTooltip, "Some text")
    --or you can use:
    --tooltipControl:AddLine(text, [font, r, g, b, lineAnchor, modifyTextType, textAlignment, setToFullSize]), default font = ""
    --tooltipControl:AddVerticalPadding(offsetY)
    
end
 
function SuperStar.HideTooltip(self)
    ClearTooltip(InformationTooltip)
end

I've also tried this :

<Button name="$(parent)LordTot" font="ZoFontGameLargeBoldShadow" color="INTERFACE_COLOR_TYPE_TEXT_COLORS:INTERFACE_TEXT_COLOR_NORMAL" horizontalAlignment="LEFT" mouseEnabled="true">
        <Anchor point="RIGHT" relativeTo="$(parent)Lord" relativePoint="LEFT" offsetX="530" offsetY="0" />
        <OnMouseEnter>
            ZO_Tooltips_ShowTextTooltip(self, TOP, "blablabla")
        </OnMouseEnter>
        <OnMouseExit>
            ZO_Tooltips_HideTextTooltip()
        </OnMouseExit>
</Button>

And also this :

SuperStarXML:GetNamedChild(SuperStar.disciplines[disciplineIndex] .. skillIndex):SetHandler("OnMouseEnter", function(self)
    ZO_Tooltips_ShowTextTooltip(self, TOP, "blablabla")
end)
SuperStarXML:GetNamedChild(SuperStar.disciplines[disciplineIndex] .. skillIndex):SetHandler("OnMouseExit", function(self)
    ZO_Tooltips_HideTextTooltip()
end)

I'll also, for a later usage need some skill tooltips. I was planning in using this code :

InitializeTooltip(SkillTooltip, GetChampionPointAttributeIcon(GetChampionDisciplineAttribute(disciplineIndex)), LEFT, 150, 0, CENTER)
SkillTooltip:SetChampionSkillAbility(disciplineIndex, skillIndex, 0)

which doesn't work either.

I've surely missed something, maybe in my copy paste, but if anyone knows ? thanks

Try to add mouseEnabled="true" to your button. It seems that you have enabled mouse events just for top level window (parent).

button:SetMouseEnabled(true)

The second argument to InitializeTooltip is owner control, you probably want to pass your button there. It is used for anchoring and also when the owner control is hidden, the tooltip goes with it.

Thank you,

But no, it doesn't work

(I had already mouseEnabled my button in xml), and if I

SuperStarXML:GetNamedChild(SuperStar.disciplines[disciplineIndex] .. skillIndex):SetMouseEnabled(true)

it's same problem.

And in zgoo, the button is well enabled (same if I only set mouEnabled in xml).



It's like my buttons are in the background and totally inactive.

The second argument to InitializeTooltip is owner control, you probably want to pass your button there. It is used for anchoring and also when the owner control is hidden, the tooltip goes with it.

When trying to use

InitializeTooltip(SuperStarXMLWarriorLordTot, GetChampionPointAttributeIcon(GetChampionDisciplineAttribute(disciplineIndex)), LEFT, 150, 0, CENTER)
SuperStarXMLWarriorLordTot:SetChampionSkillAbility(disciplineIndex, skillIndex, 0)

(or local mybutton = SuperStarXMLWarriorLordTot)

Hi, Ayantir.

The first argument should be the tooltip to initialize. (SkillTooltip)
line 59 is tooltip:ClearLines() (with tooltip as 1. argument)
I'm currently at work and can not verify, but shouldn't Button be the parent of BackDrop and Label?

InitializeTooltip(SkillTooltip, SuperStarXMLWarriorLordTot, LEFT, 150, 0, CENTER)
SkillTooltip:SetChampionSkillAbility(disciplineIndex, skillIndex, 0)

Thanks for your messages,

The final conclusion :

Button don't accept tooltips without an inherit (at list inherit="ZO_DefaultTextButton") .
You must use labels.

If you need to use a button, you can cheat with
button:GetLabelControl():SetHandler("OnMouseUp", etc)

It wont work because your button has no hit box...Its dimensions are 0 width 0 height, the OnMouseEnter event will not fire. Thats the same reason /zgoo mouse wont show you the control and why you can't click it. Your mouse isn't over the button because it has no dimensions.

Just add dimensions to the button and it works:

<Button name="$(parent)Lord8" font="ZoFontGame" text="test text" color="INTERFACE_COLOR_TYPE_TEXT_COLORS:INTERFACE_TEXT_COLOR_NORMAL" horizontalAlignment="LEFT" mouseEnabled="true">
    <Dimensions x="128" y="28" />
    <Anchor point="RIGHT" relativeTo="$(parent)Lord" relativePoint="LEFT" offsetX="450" offsetY="0" />
 
    <OnMouseEnter>
        SuperStar_ShowTooltip(self)
    </OnMouseEnter>
 
    <OnMouseExit>
        SuperStar_HideTooltip(self)
    </OnMouseExit>
</Button>

function SuperStar_ShowTooltip(self)
    InitializeTooltip(InformationTooltip, self, TOPRIGHT, 0, 5, BOTTOMRIGHT)
    SetTooltipText(InformationTooltip, "Some text")
end
 
function SuperStar_HideTooltip(self)
    ClearTooltip(InformationTooltip)
end

huhu thank you
