wxRichToolTip on MAC is transparent

Post by maximand »

Hello.

I've created the following function to draw tool tip in case if fields of my app dialogues contains an invalid value.
tip.SetBackgroundColour(...) has been added specially for MAC. But it does not help.
It working only if some colour a la wxColour(255,255,0) inserted. But in that case it looks ugly.
What is the best way to set proper color?

Code: Select all

void mmErrorDialogs::ToolTip4Object(wxWindow *object, const wxString &message, const wxString &title, int ico)
{
    wxRichToolTip tip(title, message);
    tip.SetIcon(ico);
    tip.SetBackgroundColour(object->GetParent()->GetBackgroundColour());
    tip.ShowFor(object);
}

wxWidgets version? If it's up-to-date and the problem can be seen in the "dialogs" sample, please open a bug report at http://trac.wxwidgets.org
Use the source, Luke!
