Hi,
I have a custom GUI button with tooltip in my plugin. I want some part of the tooltip to be in bold and the rest in normal font(similar to the buttons in the C4D panels like Cube, Freehand etc).
I am not sure how to make the tooltip bold. Any help would be appreciated. I am using the below code:

  
def CreateLayout(self) :  
        
      self.SetTitle("My Python Dialog")  
  
      self.GroupBegin(0, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT|c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 3, 4, "Bitmap Example",0)  
      bc = c4d.BaseContainer()                            ######Create a new container to store the button image  
      bc.SetInt32(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BORDER, c4d.BORDER_OUT) #Sets the border to look like a button  
      bc.SetInt32(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1, c4d.RESOURCEIMAGE_MOVE) #####Sets Button Icon  
      bc.SetString(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_TOOLTIP, "I am a tool tip")  
      bc.SetBool(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON, True)  
      self.myBitButton=self.AddCustomGui(MY_BITMAP_BUTTON, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "My Button", c4d.BFH_CENTER | c4d.BFV_CENTER, 50, 20, bc)  
   
      self.GroupEnd()  
      return True

Hello and welcome,

actually you can use the <b> and <br> HTML tags to format the bubble help text:

  
bc.SetString(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_TOOLTIP,"Headline<br>Tooltip")

You don't have to do this when you create a CommandData[URL-REMOVED] plugin as Cinema will handle the name and help defined when using RegisterCommandPlugin()[URL-REMOVED].

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks a lot !! This works perfectly.
Quick question - In the Python SDK Documentation, we do not find these details mentioned. Is there any other link where we can find more examples?

Regards.

Hello,

do you mean example code? You find example scripts, scenes and plugins online[URL-REMOVED] or in the SDK download[URL-REMOVED].

best wishes,
Sebastian
