Add text to Tooltip for a XML file
-
I am using Windows XP, Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 .NET, with MFC. I am working on an application that compresses itself into an XML file or can be saved in the XML format. When it is compressed, it shows additional information I added into the tooltip, which shows when the operator puts the mouse over the file. I am trying to add information to the file's tooltip when it is saved as an XML document as well. However, the tooltip only displays the document's type, date, and size. Do you know how to make an XML file ("filename.xml") show additional information in the tooltip when the operator puts the mouse over the filename? AeJai

XML is basically a data container. You usually have to transform it to something else in order to get a more advanced interface. You can transform it to HTML and use CSS and/or Javascript to get the desired effect.
