Member Function Documentation

◆ Alignment()

BAlignment BToolTip::Alignment ( ) const

Returns the tool tip's alignment.

deep	Whether or not to archive child views as well.

Returns: A status code, B_OK if everything went well or an error code otherwise.

Return values

B_OK	The object was archived.
B_NO_MEMORY	Ran out of memory while archiving the object.

Since: Haiku R1

Reimplemented from BArchivable.

◆ IsSticky()

bool BToolTip::IsSticky ( ) const

Returns whether or not the sticky flag is set.

Since: Haiku R1

◆ Lock()

bool BToolTip::Lock ( )

protected

Allows derived classes to lock the tool tip while modifying it.

Since: Haiku R1

◆ MouseRelativeLocation()

BPoint BToolTip::MouseRelativeLocation ( ) const

Returns the tool tip's relative mouse location.

Since: Haiku R1

◆ SetAlignment()

void BToolTip::SetAlignment ( BAlignment alignment )

virtual

Set the alignment of the tool tip which determines where the tool tip should appear i.e. left or right from the current mouse cursor position, etc.
