>>>>Has anyone used the anFoxGUI.fll to obtained the multi-line ToolTip feature it provides. I think it maybe behind some of the Internal Errors (and CRASHs) I have been seeing recently. The FLL was developed many years ago, and the version I have is 0.80. It is a 32bit library, and I am running it under a 64bit OS. Does it require a specific C/C++ library.

So it appears to be. As I mentioned in another reply message. The issue is in the documentation not being properly updated to reflect the changes in the features.

Thanks to all.

BTW: I located an sample code on Yousfi Benameur blog site ( http://yousfi.over-blog.com/2015/02/winapi-tooltips.html ) that goes beyond the FLL by using the WinAPI calls directly.

Thank you all.
