Image as tooltip?

by Daniel Buckmaster · in Torque Game Engine · 05/03/2008 (4:59 am) · 2 replies

Is it possible to use tooltips to display an image when the mouse is over a GUI element? (Specifically, an item in a popupmenu list.) Even without tooltips - would it be a hugely complicated process?

    You might be able use an onMouseEnter/onMouseLeave to push/pop a gui when over a certain control.

    I'd prolly just modify GuiControl::renderTooltip() to display an optional image.
