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)?
You'll get that with the fix to the creation styles that I just put into
CVS. Currently the addition of the WS_CHILD style to the tooltip
control results it it getting clipped to its parent window. Without
this style it will be a true top-level window and can be drawn anywhere
on the screen.
If you need it now, and can build from source, then grab the latest code
from CVS. If this is not an option, then you'll have to wait for V1.03.
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.. ;)
If you think it would be useful to have native support for WM_HELP
messages, then please raise an RFE tracker.
Good luck!
Rob.
