Dunno Nadya,

I've only needed it once - in vfp6 - and this worked back then

=this.AddObject('_' + padl(m.i, 4, '0'), 'MapMultiLineToolTipLabel')
		with this.Controls(this.ControlCount)
			.Top = m.nHeight
			.Left = 5
			.Caption	= aa[m.i]
			
			
			.AutoSize = TRUE
			.Visible = TRUE
			=INKEY(.0001)
                            && here the width was correct
