You didn't say platform/wxPerl version
I'll assume MSW/0.07

Well, for some value of right... the code *is* right,
but ( after some debugging ) *looks* like a bug in wxWindows

Thanks for the sample code!

for now, use
EVT_TOOL_ENTER( $this, -1, \&Func );

and use $event->GetInt() in the event handler
to discriminate between the tools
( of course it is an hack, but I need more investigation
  for a proper fix )

BTW, as you might have noticed, putting -1 as the id in the
event macro, acts as a wildcard: matches all ids

Sorry about not specifying all the proper information.

Platform:	Win98
wxPerl:	0.07	(assumption was correct).
wxWindows:	2.2.7


In the meantime, I will try your suggestion and let you know.

RE: [wxperl-users] Problems with EVT_TOOL_ENTER

[Bradley M. H. <bh...@ja...>]

I had tried this, but wasn't sure if that was the way to go.

The only reason I was going to use this functionality is due to the fact
that the "Long Help" message for a tool on the toolbar doesn't get removed
from the status bar like it should.  I was going to blank it out myself.

This did work for when the mouse moved over the control.  However, the
documentation says that the EVT_TOOL_ENTER event is also supposed to handle
when the mouse moves off of the control as well, and that is not happening.

I've included my code again for reference.
