Hi, is it possible to format the tooltips with linefeeds so it uses more then one line?
I tried chr(10), chr(13) and instring "\n" without success.
Thanx in advance

Don't know if this is the only way to do that, but this is what I know about that:
Code: Select all

; how to create a user defined tooltip
Procedure AddButtonToolTip(Handle,Text$)
ToolTipControl=CreateWindowEx_(0,"tooltips_class32","",$D0000000,0,0,0,0,WindowID,2002,hInstance,0)
SendMessage_(ToolTipControl,1044,0 + 0

Sorry for that Paul. My code runs on Win98SE (at work) without failure.
Have to go home to test it on WinXP and Win2000.
I suppose this is that incompatibility of W2000 and the other MS OS regarding
CreateWindowEx. (for more details see the comments on my HTMLview topic)
The problem is that 'hInstance' under W2000 wants sometimes (?) a real 'Instance'
so you have to add:
hInstance = GetModuleHandle_(0)
before the CreateWindowEx call.
Please tell me if this works. Than I can edit the code above.
Have a nice day...
