>>I'm trying to use your fancytooltips class on a form in VFP6 and the mouse over class that comes with VFP6. It works fine except when I open another form then release it, the tooltips don't appear. I think maybe they are positioned out of view. I there an easy way to tell what it is referencing for position? Also, how do I keep the tooltips from going underneath the form's caption bar?

Added note: I discovered some other things that may or may not be uniq to VFP6.
If I use Fancy tooltips on form A and launch form B from form A using DO FORM, combo boxes on form B intermittently cause form B to release when clicked. But only if the combo box is a member of thisform B. If, for example, cbo1 is a member of thisformB.pageframe1.page1, cbo1 will click click all day long and form B does not release. I believe this is related to timers and checking for _screen.activeform? BTW, the combo boxes are loaded by SQL statement and are requeried at GotFocus(). I rarely use timers anytime a cbo is present since I went crazy trying to implement an animation about a year ago. So, I tried disabling the tooltips timer prior to launching form B and no more problems.
This is fine as long as you know it so you can create a reference to form A to turn the timer back on when you are finished with form B. However, this could snowball on a person if you wanted to have several forms open using fancy tooltips and alot of combo boxes. I thought of only enabling the tooltip timer for the active form via activate() otherwise timer.enabled = .F. then disable or enable if a cbo is clicked or not...
Note 2: Think style seems to always show inwardly on the form, but speak doesn't respect the caption/mover bar...
