L_VecGetObjectTooltip

#include "lvkrn.h"

L_LVKRN_API L_UINT32 L_VecGetObjectTooltip(pVector, pObject, pBuffer, uSize)

pVECTORHANDLE pVector;	/* pointer to the vector handle */
const pVECTOROBJECT pObject;	/* pointer to a structure */
L_TCHAR * pBuffer;	/* pointer to a buffer */
L_UINT32 uSize;	/* size of pBuffer */

Retrieves the tooltip of a vector object.

Parameter	Description
pVector	Pointer to the vector handle.
pObject	Pointer to the VECTOROBJECT structure that contains the vector object for which to get the tooltip.
pBuffer	Pointer to a buffer to be updated with the specified object's tooltip.
uSize	Size of the buffer allocated for pBuffer.

Returns

If pBuffer is NULL, it will return the size of the buffer required for the tooltip string. If pBuffer is not NULL, it will return the number of bytes actually written to the buffer.
