I want to use %th with the new scaling option (which implies the ms_style option), but I get a Clearwin+-Error: "Read-only controls can't have ms_style tooltips."
Is there a way to avoid this error?

If you are using recent DLLs for the ClearWin+ library you will get the option to continue and ignore the error.

If you have this option and are able to continue, do tooltips appear for the read only controls? I presume that they don't.

If they do appear then I can suppress the error report for you.
If they don't appear then the question is "how can you make a control read only but still active for tooltips?".

If you can present a short sample program then I will be able to investigate further.

Thanks for the reply, Paul
Yes, I get the option to continue and ignore the error, but the tooltips of the read only controls don't appear.
Here is a simple example:
Code:

program test_th

 integer :: winio@, iw

 real*8 :: var1, var2

 var1 = 1.1d0
 var2 = 2.2d0
 
 iw = winio@ ('%th[scaling=1.3]&', 1)
 iw = winio@ ('%?8rf[help-text 1]%2nl&',var1)
 iw = winio@ ('%`?8rf[help-text 2]%2nl&',var2)
 iw = winio@ ('%cn%bt[Close]')
 
 stop
end

I have had a look at this and this feature is not currently available in ClearWin+ but could be added.

I will add this to the list as a request for a new feature.

Although the Microsoft documentation says that a read-only control can have a tooltip (by using its bounding rectangle rather than its HWND) I have not been able to get this to work for 64 bit applications.

As an alternaive solution, I have updated the native tooltips (obtained by avoiding [ms_style]) so that they can look like Microsoft tooltips and so that the font can be scaled.

New options for the native tooltips include:

1) [scale=1.3] this is the same as [scaling=1.3] but does not imply [ms_style].

2) [back_color=<colour>] and [text_color=<colour>]. The default background colour for Microsoft tooltips is white.

With these changes native tooltips can be made to be very similar to Microsoft tooltips particularly if used with [at_curosr]. They will also have the same small shadow.

The downside is that native tooltips don't have the option for a title and icon.

The upgrade will be available in the next release of the DLLs.

Thanks Paul,

this is a great help for me, since more and more users are using 4k-screens.

The failure when using Microsoft tooltips has now been identified and fixed so [ms_style] tooltips will be available for read-only controls.

The new enhancements for native and ms_style tooltips will remain in place.

The tooltips seem to have still some issues with [ms_style].
I have changed my example as follows:
Code:

module param
 integer(kind=7)  :: handle
 real*8 :: var1, var2
end module param

program test_th
 use param

 integer          :: winio@, iw
 
 external acc

 var1 = 1.1d0
 var2 = 2.2d0
 
 iw = winio@ ('%hw&', handle)
 iw = winio@ ('%sc&', acc)
 iw = winio@ ('%th[scaling=1.3,delay]&', 1, 100)
 iw = winio@ ('%?8rf[help-text 1]%2nl&',var1)
 iw = winio@ ('%`?8rf[help-text 2]%2nl&',var2)
 iw = winio@ ('%cn%bt[Close]')

 stop
end
 
integer function cb_func()
 use param
 cb_func = 1
 var2 = var2 + 0.1d0
end
 
integer function acc()
 use param
 C_EXTERNAL ADD_ACCELERATOR@ '__add_accelerator' (VAL,INSTRING,REF)
 external cb_func
 acc = 2
 CALL ADD_ACCELERATOR@(handle,'F1',cb_func)
end

This example crashes with 'Error: Invalid window' -message when ADD_ACCELERATOR@ is called. It runs as expected when I switch off the ms_style by changing the %th-option 'scaling' to 'scale'.

Adding an accelerator in this way for 64 bits does not work at the moment. It works for 32 bits.

I have fixed this for the next release of the DLLs.

I presume there is a reason why you are not simply using %ac when defining the main window.
