Tooltip with GUI.Window Problem

I can't get tooltips from controls in a GUI.Window to show up. Is this something that is a known problem? Is there something special I have to do? As far as I can tell it should be working. The controls have tooltips, the GUI.Label to display the tooltip is after the window call. The GUI.tooltip just remains empty. Any ideas?

 

I seen this happen to and reported it as a bug. Case: 27084

Maybe you should report it to. The more info the faster the fix (if is indeed a bug). I also think this suffers from the same problem as GUI.changed beeing true all the time in GUI.Window (which i know UT is trying to fix)

Has there been any progress on this? Without the full ticket number, I can't see the status of the bug report.

 

I can get them to show up in a window by putting the tooltip code in the window and not directly in OnGUI, the problem is though that they then get clipped against the window rect so often they aren't fully readable, I haven't found a way round that yet as windows seem to get drawn last. All rather annoying.

 

Just had a thought, I'm going to try making the tooltip itself as a window, it's a similar trick to using a window for a custom cursor....

 

hey it works!

 

Thanks for pointing this out, it saved my day. Actually I tried everything, but nothing seemed to fully work.
For all you guys struggling with tooltips and windows, the window containing tooltips must be rendered last to work. GUI.BringWindowToFront() hack comes in handy.

BTW: It's a shame that after more than 3 years of complaining the framework still lacks such a basic functionality...

 

What I did to get tooltips working was to make a separate script for rendering tool tips with a GUI.depth of 0. I do the same thing with tutorials and custom cursors so they will draw over windows.
