balloon tooltip

[Edgemeal]

Thanks for the tip, working on my tooltips as i answer. Had to pay a renta coder to make the tooltip show on the text portion of a combobox

Here's another workaround I use....

When you have controls right next to each other (where the flag/balloon can't get reset by moving the mouse) you'll notice the balloon won't be shown. So in my showtootip sub I have it compare the last handle passed to it and reset the balloon/flag if needed.

Public Sub ShowToolTip(ToolTip As String, LHwnd As Long, Optional Title As String = "Main Program Title Here")
    ' // show tooltip //
    Static lastHndle As Long
    If lastHndle <> LHwnd Then
        lastHndle = LHwnd
        ToolTipOff
    End If

    If m_bInLable = False Then
        m_bInLable = True
        Tt.Title = Title
        Tt.TipText = ToolTip
        Tt.Create LHwnd
    End If
   
End Sub

Public Sub ToolTipOff()
    ' // kill balloon if exsist //
    If m_bInLable = True Then
        Tt.Destroy
        m_bInLable = False
    End If
End Sub
