Hi Norm,

For classical VB6, the HotSpot tooltips are just standard VB6 tooltips.

For example, if you add a VB6 TextBox to the Form, and set its "ToolTipText" property to "abcd", then when the program runs, the TextBox will display the tooltip "abcd" using the same little yellow rect.

If you would like other tooltips style, you would need to implement the tooltip box with your own code. Usually, this is by handling the "MouseMoveHotSpot" event and display the necessary information in your own the tooltip box implementation.

I have searched the Internet and find an example of a "bubble style" tooltip box implementation at the following page.

May be you can try the code above to see if it can meet you need.

Thanks Peter,

But on my software I'm using since long time my own Tooltip function.

It work with many control using different handle for each control  as TextBox, CheckBox, ComboBox, ListView, option etc...

But don't work with ChartViewer control... because a ChartViewer's Handle is egal to 0 !

Is it possible to get  a ChartViewer handle ?

Thanks

Hi Norm,

In VB6,  lightweight controls (or windowless controls) do not have handles. For example, the VB6 Image control does not have a handle, as it is a lightweight control. The VB6 PictureBox control has a handle, as it is a non-lightweight control.

Unluckily, the ChartViewer is a lightweight control, which is windowless, so it does not have a handle.
