Hello Bo,
Well, "The wxPython-users mailing list is famous for its helpful and
friendly members. "
It is. This is one of the best NG I have ever found. This sentence says only
the truth
but I get no reply for my three messages here. I
guess my problems are too simple to be discussed?
No, they aren't. I'll try to give some suggestion. Please let us know if
something below works for you.
I don't know which Windows version you have, but here everythin is working
fine (XP and 2000) *without* the "\n" separator. Lines are wrapped nicely
automagically by wxPython. There was a thread similar to the one you posted
some days ago.
I don't own a Linux box, so I can't say anything about it.
BUT:
Noting that this is the second time that a similar message appears, my
suggestions are:
1) In the Demo for the custom class I wrote (ToasterBox), there are these
commands:
helpstr = "You Can Add A .bmp File As The Background To The Popup Window. "
\
              "The Picture Will Autosize To The Window"
txtCtrl4c.SetToolTip(wx.ToolTip(helpstr))
txtCtrl4 is a wx.TextCtrl. Notice that there is *not* any "\n" separator.
Here the lines are wrapped nicely (XP/2000, Python 2.4.1, wxPython 2.6.1.1),
so there is no need of the "\n" separator. If you want to look at the demo,
please visit:

2) *Don't* use SetToolTipString(): use instead
SetToolTip(wx.ToolTip(your_string)).
Regarding the second point, you are the second person that post this kind of
message, so I assume that there may be some strange "bug" into
SetToolTipString().
HTH.
Andrea.
