Go check the MSDN section called 'Using ToolTip controls'. ToolTips are small messages displayed to the user. Their general use is to pop up when you hover the mouse over an icon. However, even the 'Click here to stay current with automatic updates' tooltip bound to the Windows Update System tray icon is just a standard tooltip, with some extra styles applied. The article is a good place to start. Unfortunately I cannot provide you with a ready code. Here is a link to it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/tooltip/usingtooltips.asp[^]. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.
