Locate the rectangle of the icon in a tooltip

[ssimop]

I tried to locate the icon in a tooltip created by :

int IconFile=GetIcon("....ico" 0)

mac "ShowTooltip" "" "test[]tooltip" -1 300 100 400 1|2|4 IconFile

using scan, but I failed.

Any advice is mostly welcome. Thanks in advance.

this works for me no problem on windows 10

Code:

Copy      Help

mac "ShowTooltip" "" "test[]tooltip" -1 300 100 400 1|2|4 "Test" "shell32.dll,4"
0.3
int w=win("" "tooltips_class32")
scan "image:hF78E7989" w 0 1|2|16

   

did you forget to add the image as a resource of the function your using? if your create the scan code in a different function need to add image file as a resource of the new function.

what's the error message your getting?
something like this?
Error (RT) in   resource not found. ?

or other?

object not found?
needs a slight delay from when ShowTooltip is called and when you start scan
0.3
was as low as i could go anything less would get object not found error.

Dear Kevin,

Thanks for your advice. The message was "object not found". The delay I have used was 3-5 s, nevertheless it did not work. I will try again, and I will let you know accordingly. Best regards.

I am wondering why the above showtooltip command produces a tooltip without an icon.

[Kevin]

you really don't need the mac command when calling  ShowTooltip with flag 2. Flag 2 creates a new thread  mac isn't necessary.
can call  like this instead

Code:

Copy      Help

ShowTooltip "test[]tooltip" -1 300 100 400 1|2|4 "Test" "shell32.dll,4"

Thanks, OK, I get the icon, however I have problem with scan:

resource not found.   

How can I find the resource (image) name? I check with the "resource" toolbar, but I failed.

If you are using  my example  download the attachment  then select  the function that has the example  code in it . Click resources button  on qm main window  then on resources  dialog  click add  then import  from file  then scan code should  work


download this

Thank you, just downloaded, .zip version. Still impossible to download from the picture shown. It is very likely I am doing something wrong.
