Hi,
I would like to display a tooltip for image control.
But, I set a string to the tooltip property of the image control but the tooltip did not appear.
Please show me how to display tooltips in the image control.
My Advanced Installer version is 19.4.
Thanks in advance.

Re: How to display a tooltip for image controls
Hello and welcome to our forums,
I have tested this with a sample project and I can indeed confirm the behavior.
I have forwarded this to our development team and hopefully this will be fixed in a future version of Advanced Installer. We will notify you on this forum thread.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
Best regards,
Liviu

Re: How to display a tooltip for image controls
Hello,
Our developer has completed its investigation into this issue.
In the Control Table the column for the tooltip text (Help Column) is populated correctly, but the tooltip seems to not be displayed. It seems that this is an undocumented and unsupported edge case for MSI, which doesn't support tooltips for static controls.
Our developer found a workaround which achieves what you want. In order to display an image with a tooltip, you can use the "Image Button" control and modify the image before uploading it. In order for this to work a image which contains six original images one next to each other needs to be uploaded to the Image button. For example, if we want to display this image:
the following image needs to be uploaded to the Image Button
You also need to enable the Enhanced User Interface from the Themes page, thus the package will be changed to EXE type.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Liviu
