>I got curious and played with this...I was able to reproduce your problem occasionally with very long tooltiptext. It actually worked fine with the tooltip object at the far left in the form, it was only when I moved it to the right "a few paces" that the tooltip's left edge was off the visible screen, and this was using 640x480, which I figured had the best chance of getting the problem to appear...


I was getting it at 1024*768 with strings as short as 40 characters.

Mousemove can be quite irritating to users, having tooltips constantly obscuring the screen objects. We tried this idea out once, too...
>End Soapbox :)

yes, I take the point, but I am also providing the option for the user to turn off the tooltips once they have familiarised themselves sufficiently with the functions of the various fields, at which point it will then revert to right click... And yes, I also prefer the idea of wraparound and look forward to grappling with Vlad's class which I've downloaded but not yet had a chance to play with...

Cheers
