Example of InfoTip #352

Closed modz2014 closed 5 months ago

modz2014 commented 5 months ago

Hi would be create if there was an example of appending to the current InfoTip instead of overwriting it

oldnewthing commented 5 months ago

Can you be more specific what you are asking about? Are you saying "I wrote a custom infotip provider and after the infotip has been shown, I realize afterward that I want to add more information to it. Is there a way to tell the system to requery my infotip so I can provide the additional information?"

modz2014 commented 5 months ago

When developing an infotip, a common concern arises regarding the ability to extend its functionality without displacing the existing content. For instance, suppose there's a desire to incorporate an additional function triggered by hovering over a text file while preserving the default information display behavior

Oh, it's about chaining infotip providers. No, there is no chaining facility.

modz2014 commented 5 months ago

is there going to be or do I have to write the whole Infotip again that display the current information and then add to it

but you should also upload an example of InfoTip here anyway
