Debugger tooltips missing from VS2010

2 Aug 2016 4:20 #17869

After moving to Win10, I have upgraded to FTN95 Personal Edition v7.0 which includes integration to VS2010. Everything seems fine except that I don't have any tooltips in the debugger, so I cannot hover over a variable to check its value. Locals, Watch and Quick-Watch all work ok, but are not half as convenient as hovering (which worked with the VS2008 integration). I did find this post on a MSDN-VS-Integrate site:

'I have now solved this problem. The behaviour of GetDataTipText has changed in VS2010 and returning E_NOTIMPL does not produce a standard data tip.'

which came from a Silverfrost developer, but don't know whether the problem was solved or his understanding of the problem!

Anyone have any ideas ? Thanks,

Kevin

HI, if you haven't yet solved this, try here:

windows 10 turns off 'balloon' tooltips by default!!!
