(About the author)
 
     This is a wrapper class for the comctl32 api, it allows you to create AWESOME tooltips --> they can be multiline, any background color, foreground color, balloon style, icons like only thought possible for windows ME, they look GOOD. to use balloon style requires IE5 +

Hello Again!  Ummm... I found some code 
in c++ that does place tool tips so 
they come up on demand.  If some one 
wants to change it to vb and post it 
here that would be great!  The address 
is

Won't run under Windows XP
No errors, 
just the tooltip doesn't display.  
Anyone know what changes would be 
required to get Win XP to run it?

This code is hard to use in a large 
program that you might be making. I 
only got it to work for one thing at a 
time and that was it...mouseover does 
not work with it, tried several 
diffrent ways but always ended up in 
the same problem. It does not support 
labels and some other important 
controls that it should.
This code 
could use improving yes, so I give it a 
4, but a great idea...just needs work.

when I try to compile in vb6.0 win2000, 
i get an error here:
Public Property 
Get Style() As ttStyleEnum
'used when 
retrieving value of a property, on the 
right side of an assignment.
'Syntax: 
Debug.Print X.Style
    Set Style = 
mvarStyle
End Property
The set 
style statement is highlighted & the 
error message is "Object required." Any 
idea why?

Excellent, but how do I make this 
tooltip for the taskbar, like when i 
hover over the taskbar button for my 
application, I just get a basic 
tooltip.  How would I make a "Cooltip" 
for my taskbar button?

The errors are due to the 'Set' (they 
aren't objects, they are enumerations 
where they fail).  Remove the Set 
statement.
Also, one of the local 
string variables was missing in the 
tooltip.cls that needs to be added, 
then it will compile.
The similar 
code I've seen didn't show how to add 
icons, which is a nice touch.

hi, there are 3 errors in the class. 
first: the declare of mvartiptext 
was missing. add this:
Private 
mvarTipText As String ' error 
1
second: instead of: 
Set Style = 
mvarStyle
you should write:
Style = 
mvarStyle
and third:
Set Icon = 
mvarIcon
change to 
Icon = mvarIcon 
after this changes it was possible 
to compile this code.
bye, thomas

Doesn't work for me on VB6 latest SP's, 
Win2k latest SP's... I've removed all 
bugs, but still no tooltips. This 
looked like a nice alternative t oget 
multilined tooltips, shame it doesn't 
work. Anyway, thanks for sharing it. It 
works for a lot of people!
