You can use that tooltip class on labels, as I said you need to use the labels container hWnd.

I use this sub to set/show the tooltip, then use it like this...

Code:

---

' Lable1 inside Framez1 control...
Private Sub Label1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    ShowToolTip  "ToolTip Here", Framez1.hWnd, "Title Here"
End Sub

---

EDIT btw, The Framez control posted here doesn't have a MouseMove event, which you'd most likely need so you can reset that balloon tip class.
Add a simple MouseMove event to the Framez control...

Code:

---

' General Declares
Event MouseMove()

' code
Private Sub UserControl_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    RaiseEvent MouseMove
End Sub

Updated:
v1.14 - Fix(v1.12): Selecting a system color for XP\7 border color was always black.
v1.13 - Add option to disable transparency and set background color.
Note: Transparency is now disabled by default in v1.13 and later.

you have to add this control to your controls then you will see new control which you apply on the form the same way as the others eg. label etc.

cheers

Hi Edgemeal,

i played with your TabStrip Demo For WinXP. i like this, but actually i wanted my form is resizeable and the tabstrip and the frame as well. but when i use Form_Resize, then the frame is error, saying Can't create AutoRedraw image..

is there a way to solve this?
thank you very much..

Might want to upload a demo of your code, in the meantime here is a quick re-size test I did and didn't see that problem.

yes it works as i wanted.. :D
thank you very much..

After years of searching, I finally found a transparent control.
