Tool time font

Show Glyph Boxes Upload different image. This tool is one more example of Fontspring leading the industry in font curation and discovery. The Matcherator excels with powerful technology and features under the hood, and allowing you to match OpenType features. Yes, you heard right, it can even match OpenType features! The Matcherator also has a tag refinement feature to really let you drill down the results for those hard to match fonts. Need Font Help?

The most robust font detection tool available. A tooltip control can be either active or inactive. When it is active, the tooltip text appears when the mouse pointer is on a tool. When it is inactive, the tooltip text does not appear, even if the pointer is on a tool.

A tooltip control can support any number of tools. Each time you add a tool, your application provides a unique identifier. A tooltip control supports tools implemented as windows such as child windows or control windows and as rectangular areas within a window's client area.

When you add a tool implemented as a rectangular area, the hwnd member of the TOOLINFO structure must specify the handle to the window that contains the area, and the rect member must specify the client coordinates of the area's bounding rectangle.

In addition, the uID member must specify the application-defined identifier for the tool. If the high-order word of lpszText is zero, the low-order word must be the identifier of a string resource.

When the tooltip control needs the text, the system loads the specified string resource from the application instance identified by the hinst member of the TOOLINFO structure. The window examines the structure to determine the tool for which text is needed, and it fills the appropriate structure members with information that the tooltip control needs in order to display the string.

The maximum length for standard tooltip text is 80 characters. Multiline tooltip text can be longer. Many applications create toolbars containing tools that correspond to menu commands. For such tools, it is convenient for the tooltip control to display the same text as the corresponding menu item. Tooltip text is normally displayed when the mouse pointer hovers over an area, typically the rectangle defined by a tool such as a button control.

However, Microsoft Windows only sends mouse-related messages to the window that contains the pointer, not the tooltip control itself. Mouse-related information must be relayed to the tooltip control in order for it to display the tooltip text at the appropriate time and place.

The necessary mouse messages then will be relayed automatically to the tooltip control. However, it will not work in cases where there is no direct connection between the tooltip control and the tool's window. For example, if a tool is implemented as a rectangular area in an application-defined window, the window procedure receives the mouse messages. However, if a tool is implemented as a system-defined window, mouse messages are sent to that window and are not directly available to the application.

In this case, you must either subclass the window or use a message hook to access the mouse messages. If it is, the tooltip control sets a timer. At the end of the time-out interval, the tooltip control checks the position of the pointer to see if it has moved. If it hasn't, the tooltip control retrieves the text for the tool and displays the tooltip. A tooltip control actually has three time-out durations associated with it. The letters for this project was to come from things that I found in the environment around me by looking for any objects that I could use to construct an alphabet.

These objects where then photographed individually and the backgrounds were then removed and masked out in Photoshop. For the name of the font, it had to consist of six to ten unique letters that had a conceptual relationship to each other and double letters had to be differently designed. The format of the poster had to be 11 inches tall and 17 inches wide with a white background. To start this project out, the first thing that I had to do was look for objects that could be photographed and turned into letters.

As I photographed a number of things, I discovered that I was already starting to come up with a theme. Beginning Concepts. From the first set of concepts that I took, I then had to choose three to prototype more before making the final decision. The first one was hardware that I had that could be used to make letters. The second was bits and pieces of irrigation pipes and fittings that I found could be viewed as letter.

The third was tools that me or my father had. In the end, I chose to go with the tool concept as I discovered that I could make an entire alphabet out of the tools that I had available and the other two concepts the letters would have been more forced than natural. One thing that I discovered though is every letter I was photographing to make Tool Time had lighting challenges due to them being shiny.
