Antonio,

Could you explain how this new tooltip is different than the tooltips we already had?

James,

These are tooltips that appear when the user hovers the mouse over a string that cannot be displayed in its entirety. The tooltip overlays the partially-displayed text and provides the remainder of the text that had been truncated.

Windows uses them in treeviews and some other controls. Now we can use them too where we may need them or want them to be shown.

Please notice that the tooltip is placed in the same location of the control and not below it.
regards, saludos

Silvio,

Better use a dialogbox instead of them, so you can implement all sort of features :-)

Harvey,

Are you using FWH 8.08 ?

If yes, then you could beta test this new tooltips feature. 8.08 code, with some changes, is required for it.
