[wix-users] Tooltips and properties?

[Hoover, Jacob]

Looking at the help file...

Text - A localizable string used to set the initial text contained in a control. This attribute can contain a formatted string that is processed at install time to insert the values of properties using [PropertyName] syntax. Also supported are environment variables, file installation paths, and component installation directories; see Formatted for details.   

ToolTip - The string used for the Tooltip.

This implies that ToolTip is not localizable, however I didn't spend the time to dig into source to verify this.

Hi,

I have a CheckBox control and if I set the Text and Tooltip properties to a localized text, the tooltip will not evaluate [property].

e.g.

Text="!(loc.SomeText)" ToolTip="!(loc.SomeTooltipText)"

SomeText = "[ProductName]"
SomeTooptipText = "[ProductName]"

The checkbox will show the actual product name but the tooltip will show "[ProductName]" instead of the real product name.
Why is that?

/Magnus
