[BUG] Control and buttonspec with tooltips both appear at same time

[Cocotteseb]

Let's have for example a KryptonTextBox with a tooltip. On this Textbox we add a buttonspec which has a tooltip The tooltip of the textbox (from VisualContainerControlBase) appears alone, that's correct. The tooltip of the buttonspec appears along with the tooltip of the textbox : that's not intended and not correct.

I have no idea how to correct this. Can someone helps ? Thanks

I can see pro's and con's for this. The problems, is that for every control that allows to have "ButtonExtra's" they handle the tooltips themselves (No base class code!). So do "we" want to introduce 1) Base class code for extra (Best, but the greatest impact) 2) Have some magic in every tooltip extra handler to determine if the parent tooltip should be "closed" 3) Have a "design time option" to combine with 2 above? e.g. Combine with AllowButtonSpecToolTips

Adding new AllowButtonSpecTooltipPriority

• If the parent Item has tooltips, and the button spec has tooltips, then the default is show both when hovering over the button spec. This can be disabled by setting AllowButtonSpecTooltipPriority to true, so that only 1 tooltip is displayed when hovering over any part of the control.

Hi @Cocotteseb

I've merged @Smurf-IV fixes into v5.500, and will be published in build 2006 along with other fixes.

Wow, that was quick ! Thanks @Smurf-IV for the reactivity. :) That's an interesting solution indeed! Thanks @Wagnerp, I've made the modification in my own repository too (give full credits to the author with a backlink to this thread)

It does work perfectly when you are "already" in the control. A little less when you are outside the control and then come "directly" on the buttonspec. Here is an example :

The tooltip is displayed in the ToolTipManager on the MouseEnter event. Maybe using the MouseMove event and waiting for a small distance before activating the tooltip could be a way to overcome the above drawback ? What do you think ?
