I'm trying to reproduce the behavior of Visual Studio where the tabs show
the filename and when you hover over the tab it gives you the full path to
that file. I started the MDI project as having Visual styles and colors:
Visual Studio 2005. I'm developing in VS 2008 if that matters.

Thanks,
Drew

You can change the content of the tooltip by using call backs. Take a
look at TTN_NEEDTEXT notification. When you get the callback, you can
put the text that you want.

You may have to roll your own tooltip-like facility. Tooltips have rather, shall we say,
"quaint" ideas, such as the fact that a tooltip is limited to 80 characters on a single
line (too small for many file paths). You can find a tooltip-like facility in several of
my projects on my MVP Tips site, including the thread affinity explorer, the locale
explorer, and the Async I/O explorer (all variants on the same basic code)

Turns out there is a documented way. I can't seem to find the link again
(confounded MSDN) but it's essentially:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyMDIFrameWndEx, CMDIFrameWndEx)
// ...
ON_REGISTERED_MESSAGE(AFX_WM_ON_GET_TAB_TOOLTIP, GetTabToolTip)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()


LRESULT CMyMDIFrameWndEx::GetTabToolTip(WPARAM /*wp*/, LPARAM lp)
{
CMFCTabToolTipInfo* pInfo = (CMFCTabToolTipInfo*) lp;
ASSERT (pInfo != NULL);

if (pInfo)
{
ASSERT_VALID (pInfo->m_pTabWnd);
if (!pInfo->m_pTabWnd->IsMDITab ())
{
return 0;
}
pInfo->m_strText.Format (_T("Tab #%d Custom Tooltip"),
pInfo->m_nTabIndex + 1);
}

return 0;
}

Thanks,
Drew
