show debugger tip under curser when ctrl key is pressed

<< < (6/8) > >>

ollydbg:
Is it possible to emulate a wxEVT_SCI_DWELLSTART event, and send it directly to the debugger plugin?
(I do not need the other plugin to receive this event in this situation)
thanks!

Ollydbg: it will be ugly, if possible:)

There is a need for tooltip redesign, but I'm not sure what could be done to improve the current situation.

Probably the best solution is tooltip grouping...

tooltip grouping. you mean just stack the tip window one by one??

Currently, As I know, the tip windows is just a wxWindow, see
plugins\debuggergdb\gdb_tipwindow.cpp(trunk)
see:

--- Code: ---class GDBTipWindowView : public wxWindow
{
public:
    GDBTipWindowView(wxWindow *parent);

    // event handlers
    void OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event);
    void OnMouseClick(wxMouseEvent& event);
    void OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& event);

#if !wxUSE_POPUPWIN
    void OnKillFocus(wxFocusEvent& event);
#endif // wxUSE_POPUPWIN

    // calculate the client rect we need to display the text
    void Adjust(const wxString& symbol, const wxString& typ, const wxString& addr, const wxString& contents, wxCoord maxLength);

private:
    wxSize GetTextSize(wxArrayString& array, const wxString& text, wxCoord maxLength, int indentationAfterFirstLine = 0);
    void PrintArray(wxDC& dc, wxPoint& pt, const wxArrayString& array);
    wxString AdjustContents(const wxString& contents);

    GDBTipWindow* m_parent;
    wxCoord m_headerHeight;

    wxString m_symbol;
    wxString m_type;
    wxString m_address;
    wxString m_contents;

#if !wxUSE_POPUPWIN
    long m_creationTime;
#endif // !wxUSE_POPUPWIN

    DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
    DECLARE_NO_COPY_CLASS(GDBTipWindowView)
};

By grouping I mean:
1. display all tooltips vertically in different windows
or
2. display all tooltips vertically in one window

Another option is to have tooltip manager which shows only one tooltip at a time.
And there are tooltip priorities, so the best priority wins.
Maybe this is the simpler solution.

I would prefer only one window. and the idea tooltip manager is a good solution. Currently the tooltip from codecompletion and gdb will battle.  (we have discussed this issue one years ago)
