// Interface for a pair of classes that provided a tooltip that takes its text dynamically
// based on the content of a pane and the mouse location. The CDynamicTooltipPane asks its
// parent view what string it should display depending on the current mouse location.
// The CDynamicTootipMixin class is mixed into the parent view to give the the correct
// interface.
//
#pragma once
#include "CTooltipAttachment.h"
//
// class CDynamicTooltipPane
//
// Handles querying the parent view to get the appropriate text based on the mouse location.
// Works with the CDynamicTooltipMixin class, which the parent view MUST mixin for this
// to work.
//
// To use this class instead of the normal tooltip pane, include the PPob id of an
// instantiation of this class (located in Tooltips.cnst) in the appropriate
// CTooltipAttachment's properties where it asks for the mTipPaneResID.
//
// NOTE: This will not _crash_ when the parent is not a CDynamicTooltipMixin, but will
// assert so you know you're using it incorrectly.

// information to the query for dynamic tooltip text from the CDynamicTooltipPane.
// All methods are pure virtual so you must override them if you intend to use this class.
//
// There is no data in this class, as it only presents an interface.
//
// As a side note, in addition to implementing the FindTooltipforMouseLocation()
// method, you will probably want to override MouseWithin() and track when the
// mouse enters/leaves a "hot" area that gets a tooltip. This is quite important
// if you want to hide the tooltip when the mouse moves away from that spot. The
// code to do this in MouseWithin() would look something like:
//
// if ( newArea != oldArea ) {
// ... update your own roll-over feedback as necessary ...
// ExecuteAttachments ( msg_HideTooltip, nil );
// }
//
// The CTooltipAttachment responds to this message by hiding the tooltip, thereby
// resetting it for the next "hot spot" the user may move the cursor to within
// the pane.
