hey Rob,
that helped me a whole lot - both of your examples.. thanks! :)
I think this offset issue prevented me from seeing the tips in the first
place, because I was working with a centered main window...
one question though:
is it possible to have the tips being showed also outside of my
main-window (f.e. if the mouse is near the windowboarder)?
Also when working with the WM_HELP msg - there is all the info available
inside the passed HELPINFO structure within lParam. things like iCtrlId,
hItemHandle, dwContextId and POINT struct with cursor pos....
So I have to learn pack and unpack on c-structs very soon - your example
from the "DC used for customdrawn Toolbar" discussion put me on that
track.. ;)
thanks again,
Dominik
