Hi,

Anybody knows how to create tooltips via Win32 API (not MFC)? I know that Microsoft provides a special window class (TOOLTIPS_CLASS) for tooltips but I can't get the tooltips to work. Furthermore, the sample code in MSDN is confusing.

Thanks.

I just need to know the basic skeleton for handling messages for the tooltips control (eg. when to send the TTM_RELAYEVENT or TTM_ACTIVATE messages, etc.).

Would you tell me with which control you are using this..so that I can give a specific and better answer..
Basically Tooltip itself is a control created with CreateWindowEx.
