I have read throught the extended tooltip support files and it still dosent answer my question.
I want to create the images for my lisp/.net comands to assit my users and would also like to make videos to match the support videos ie. Creat Alignment tool tip video (see attached)..
But having said that i would like to know if the tooltips system variable will turn off the videos from loading, so my expert users dont get a delay on commands...
Cheers
Hi,
So do you want to show a video on your custom ribbon command button? If yes, just set the ExpandedVideo property of the RibbonToolTip object.

Hi Augusto,
Have you tried to achieve this by specifying the Expanded Video inside an Extended Help File (.xaml) for a command item in a CUIX file? I am trying just that for a C++ project where the associated ribbon menu is specified using a CUIx file. So far, I have the following xaml-code which displays "Video is loading..." in the ribbon tool tip, but nothing happens...:
<src:RibbonToolTip x:Key="MMU_190_65DF4" ExpandedVideo="/MyVideo.wmv">
</src:RibbonToolTip>
Hi,
Which C3D version are you using? How are you setting this video property? Which API?
The property I mentioned was working fine on Runtime Ribbon API with .NET, just FYI.
I have simply made a CUIx file and specified all my commands there (through the GUI). If you look at a command item in a CUIx file, you will see that it has an associated property called Extended Help File. I have made such a help file, the xaml file I posted previously, in an attempt to embed a video in the tooltip for the command. I am not interacting with any API through code for this purpose.
