anFoxGUI.FLL: Multiline Tooltips/Locating MsgBoxes
Armin Neudert, TMN Systemberatung GmbH
anFoxGUI.fll provides you with real windows multiline tooltips (no 127 character limit) in regular and ballon style for all VFP controls - even containers. Just add one property and one line of code to the MouseEnter event of your base control classes. It also allows you to position a MessageBox anywhere on the screen - wherever you want. anFoxGUI is designed to work with VFP 7.0 or newer only. This version is a beta, so please feel free to report any bugs you will find!

Great Solution. I had the chance to get a early look and will implement it in my recent project right away!!! Thanks Armin ! Marcus Alt, May 26, 2002

Armin, your solution works great, thanks a lot for sharing it. Please accept an enhancement request: May you add a new parameter to keep the tooltip on the screen (kind of "noclear" in wait window) and a new function to make it dissapear, please? Thanks in advance. Maximo Zambrano, November 12, 2003

Armin, I like this a lot. I have been testing the native (Systray)Balloon tip and this is a bonus effect. Have you upgraded this lately? I would like to see it. Thanks, Felix Felix Serra, January 24, 2004
