Hi Yves,

I add the buttons in the form's .Init as well. First I dimension and fill an array with the unique index names (which in this case are also the toolbar's tip text. In the sample below, I add the buttons and tip text:

lnlast = ALEN(a_buttons, 1)
FOR lni = 1 TO lnlast
 obutton = ThisForm.Coolbar.Buttons.Add(, a_buttons[lni],,,lni)
 obutton.ToolTipText = a_buttons[lni]
