Actually, i want to show a tooltip in certain situations. I can show whenever i want it, but it is shown in the last mouse message's position. So i guess if i move it maybe i can show it where i want. is there a solution to show tooltip, in a certain position

[RaviBee]

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you trying to display a tooltip that follows the mouse? If so, create the tooltip window, handle WM_MOUSEMOVE, and position it to the mouse's current location. Alternatively, use a timer to query the mouse's current location and move the tooltip everytime it changes. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

OK. for example when an edit box sends EN_MAXTEXT i want to show "max text" as a tooltip. I can show tooltip whenever i want, but i cant show it wherever i want. it shows just where the mouse is over.

forcing the move to be the place you want your tooltip to be is very irritating for the user... if you cannot find how to display your tooltip where you want, then search again (or you're doing something wrong) !!

if that's the case, I suggest subclassing the CToolTipCtrl class or creating your own class that just makes a generic label window, but with colors to make it mimic a tooltip My articles www.stillwaterexpress.com BlackDice

I think you'd have to subclass the edit control to alter this behavior. Perhaps there's a style you can set to disable the default tooltip? If so, you could handle the EN_MAXTEXT notification and display your custom tooltip at a specific location. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

As always the solution is thinking basicly:) SendMessage(TTM_ADJUSTRECT, TRUE, (LPARAM)&rect); SetWindowPos(this,(rect.left+rect.right)/2, rect.top-50, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOACTIVATE);
