Hi,

Does anybody know 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.

Check ou the following Microsoft Systems Journal article in MSDN:
"Tiptoe Through the ToolTips With Our All-Encompassing ToolTip Programmer's Guide"

The article talks about the Tooltip control as well as the MFC tooltips control wrapper.

I hope this helps.
