Hello Rick, Tamar and Dragan,

I found the perfect solution with ctl32_BalloonTip by Carlos Alloatti. I made minimal adjustments so field is reinitialized a brief moment after the BalloonTip message appears.

Highly recommended.

>If you create a custom class based on a container, and add some labels to it, you can populate with whatever you like. Add a timer and have it automatically delete itself after so many seconds. Create it, position it relative to the control where the error occurred, move it to the front using ZOrder(), and then set focus back on the control where you want/need them to continue with data input. Have it also respond to a user click so they can make it go away if they want to before the timeout.
