m_ToolTip.Create(this); m_ToolTip.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDC_CC_BODY_LENGTH_MIN),"Min Body Lenght"); m_ToolTip.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDC_CC_BODY_LENGTH_MAX),"Max Body Lenght"); m_ToolTip.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDC_CC_BODY_LENGTH_VAR),"Max Var Body Lenght"); m_ToolTip.Activate(TRUE); I had given like this in my code - where IDC_CC_BODY_LENGTH_MIN,IDC_CC_BODY_LENGTH_MIN,IDC_CC_BODY_LENGTH_VAR -are edit boxes - But the appln is running into a MEMORY ERROR , Why?

Try to this code

void CDialogDlg::SetToolTip(LPCTSTR Text,HWND hwnd)
{
TOOLINFO ti;
ti.cbSize = sizeof(TOOLINFO);
ti.lpszText = (LPTSTR)Text;
ti.hinst = AfxGetInstanceHandle();
ti.hwnd = hwnd;
ti.uFlags = TTF_SUBCLASS | TTF_IDISHWND;
ti.uId = (UINT) hwnd;

m_tooltip.SendMessage(TTM_ADDTOOL, 0, (LPARAM) &ti);
}

void CDialogDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
m_tooltip.Create(this);
SetToolTip("Test",hwnd);
SetToolTip("Test2",hwnd2);
}

What happens?

Hi, Drive from the CEdit class and create a new CEditTool class, which will support the ToolTip. In Drived class CEditToolTip, have a member of type CToolTipCtrl. Create the Instance of this member in constructor, also u can set the ToolTipText Dynamically. And Finally in the MouseMove event u can call Update to display the tooltip.
