Solved GeUserArea Tool Tips

Hello,
Is there a tool tip for GeUserArea similar to BitmapButtonCustomGui's BITMAPBUTTON_TOOLTIP? I'd like to use the same tool tip as the rest of the C4D interface.

Thank you!

Hi @blastframe as @PluginStudent pointed it, you should use BFM_GETCURSORINFO.

Here an example.

import c4d


class UA(c4d.gui.GeUserArea):
    def __init__(self):
        super(UA, self).__init__()

    def DrawMsg(self, x1, y1, x2, y2, msg) :
        self.OffScreenOn()
        self.SetClippingRegion(x1, y1, x2, y2)
        self.DrawSetPen(c4d.Vector(1.0, 0, 0))
        self.DrawRectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2)

    def GetMinSize(self):
        return 200, 200

    def Message(self, msg, result):
        if msg.GetId() == c4d.BFM_GETCURSORINFO:
            result.SetId(c4d.BFM_GETCURSORINFO)
            result.SetInt32(c4d.RESULT_CURSOR, c4d.MOUSE_POINT_HAND)
            result.SetString(c4d.RESULT_BUBBLEHELP_TITLE, "Bubblehelp Title")
            result.SetString(c4d.RESULT_BUBBLEHELP, "This is an example GeUserArea")
            return True
        
        return c4d.gui.GeUserArea.Message(self, msg, result)


class ExampleDialog(c4d.gui.GeDialog):
    ID_UA = 10001

    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.SetTitle("UserArea Example")

        self.ua = UA()
        self.AddUserArea(self.ID_UA, c4d.BFH_LEFT | c4d.BFV_TOP)
        self.AttachUserArea(self.ua, self.ID_UA)
        return True

def main():
    global dlg
    dlg = ExampleDialog()
    dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC, xpos=-2, ypos=-2, defaultw=400, defaulth=400)

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

You can react to the message BFM_GETCURSORINFO. See GUI and Interaction Messages Manual

@m_adam & @PluginStudent Thank you both! This was exactly what I needed. This forum is so so helpful.
