Antonio,

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

Regards,
James

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.

Dear Antonio ,
last year I wanted to create a new ttooltip class but there is some one let me sad it is was no usefull because we can use tooltip of fivewin.

My idea was to create this
Look it please http://www.devcomponents.com/dotnetbar/ ... ltips.aspx

Antonio:

When is 809 to be released?

Harvey,

809 --> 8 means the year (2008), 09 means the month (september)

Silvio,

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

I know all that. How about Sept date? Could use the new tooltip feature now.

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.

I think I'm using 807 but will check.

How do I get copies of HBZIP.LIB and ZLIB.lib for Harbour. Need to have zip features in program.

Harvey,

Are you using Harbour or xHarbour ?

Harbour...

Harvey,

Please review this library and the included examples,

The correct libraries for the current Harbour are

hbziparch.lib
hbzlib.lib
