Copy Tooltip

[circonian]

Is there a way to get the tooltip from a mapPin to also show up when mousing over a different control? I still want it to show up for the mapPin, I just want it to also show up over another control.

Of course, for example MiniMap does that.

You will need this function:

ZO_MapPin.TOOLTIP_CREATORS[pinTypeString].creator(mapPin)

Hm, well I guess I'm doing something else wrong then. Thats what I was trying to do, but it doesn't show up properly.
I will look at miniMap, thank you for the info.

Ah, sorry there is pinType instead of pinTypeString.

local pinType = pin:GetPinType()
local tooltipData = pin.TOOLTIP_CREATORS[pinType]
InitializeTooltip(tooltipData.tooltip, yourControl, anchorPoint, xOffset, yOffset)
tooltipData.creator(pin)

In Update 6 will be this code a bit different because WorldMap uses mode instead of tooltip control, so it will look like this:

local function GetTooltip(mode)
    if mode == 1 then
        return InformationTooltip
    elseif mode == 2 then
        return ZO_KeepTooltip
    elseif mode == 3 then
        return ZO_MapLocationTooltip
    elseif mode == 4 then
        return ZO_ImperialCityTooltip
    else
        return mode
    end
end
 
local pinType = pin:GetPinType()
local tooltipData = pin.TOOLTIP_CREATORS[pinType]
InitializeTooltip(GetTooltip(tooltipData.tooltip), yourControl, anchorPoint, xOffset, yOffset)
tooltipData.creator(pin)

Thank you for the help Garkin, looking at miniMap helped.

I was just making a stupid mistake and didn't realize it. I wasn't calling the creator(..) in the correct spot. I was doing this:

tCreator.creator(mapPinData) 
...
rowControl:SetHandler("OnMouseEnter", function(...) 
   ...
   InitializeTooltip(tooltip, rowControl, BOTTOMLEFT, 20, 0, TOPRIGHT)
   ...
end)

Instead of doing it inside the SetHandler:

rowControl:SetHandler("OnMouseEnter", function(...) 
   ...
   InitializeTooltip(tooltip, rowControl, BOTTOMLEFT, 20, 0, TOPRIGHT)
   ...
   tCreator.creator(mapPinData) 
end)
