Hi!
I have successfully created a procedure to hook F1 keypresses when a tooltip for a ribbon item is displayed, allowing me to go to a URL with our help texts. To find the URL in a .NET programmatically created ribbon, I use HelpTopic. Every time a tooltip opens, I set a global variable currentTooltip which holds this HelpTopic value.
private static void ComponentManager_ToolTipOpened(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Autodesk.Internal.Windows.ToolTip tt = sender as Autodesk.Internal.Windows.ToolTip;
if (tt == null)
return;
Autodesk.Windows.RibbonToolTip rtt = tt.Content as Autodesk.Windows.RibbonToolTip;
currentTooltip = (rtt == null ? null : rtt.HelpTopic);
}
The problem is with ribbons defined with cui and stored in cuix files. The above function gets rtt == null. So for a cuix ribbon item, it seems the tooltip is not really a Autodesk.Windows.RibbonToolTip. And it seems that although tt (Autodesk.Internal.Windows.ToolTip) is not null, none of the properties have any value! I have tried writing tt.Name, tt.Content, tt.Uid, but they are all empty.
How can I find out which ribbon item triggered this tooltip, so I can map it to a URL? I do _not_ want to rewrite all the cuix definitions, but create a mapping "outside" of this.
Is there maybe an easy way to find out which ribbon item is currently under the cursor?
Thanks for any help!
