Hello All,
I have a window the displays a lot of file names and I would like to avoid displaying the full path in the text and provide a way for the user to click on the text (or mouse over it) and have a little display pop up with the full path. I have looked around my book and the net but nothing has popped out. wx.HyperlinkCtrl seems like a possibility but I wasn’t sure if there was already a way people on this list accomplish such a task.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Steve
If your filenames are listed in a wxListCtrl, the name will be cut off
at the width of that column in the textCtrl but I think mousing over
it will automatically pop up a tool tip with the full text.
Or if you're staying with a staticText, you could just set a wxToolTip
on it to pop up the full filename with mouseover.

Try SetToolTipString
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxwindow.html#wxwindowsettooltip
Someone may want to update the documentation to note the wxPython
SetToolTipString usage.
