show the build error message when mouse hover a marker

(1/2) > >>

ollydbg:
I found a feature request here:
https://developer.berlios.de/feature/?func=detailfeature&feature_id=5236&group_id=5358

So, I just want to know any possibility to implement this

step is:

1, receive a Dwell event in the compiler
2, get the current line info (I'm not sure if my mouse is hover on the margin line, I can receive this message?)
3, look up the marker datebase to see if the current line has a build error/warning marker
4, show the build error/warning info on a calltip tooltip window
5, when mouse moved, cancel the calltip tooltip window

Is that possible?
Any ideas?

thanks.

I'm afraid I still don't exactly understand how this should look like... can you provide a screenshot?

Does SciTE (or other scintilla clients) do such things?

ollydbg:
look at the image


When mouse hover on the marker, it will show the error message on the value tip.

I asked on the scintilla forum, but currently does not get a full answer.
see:

Can I receive a hover kind message if the mouse hover a marker?

ollydbg:
In the scintilla forum, they give many ways to show the build error message by using annocator, indicator or other things. And Neil also give a method to locate which margin the mouse is hovered on. :D

Jenna:
If the mouse is over a margin, a DwellStart-event is generated, so it's easy to find which margin we are on.
Annotations do not enhance the readability of  the source-code in my opinion. A call-tip would be the best solution.

I think this is a useful feature, so I have put it on my todo-list.
