>Anyone out there using ole controls? Like threed SSComand or the 3D panel. I am and I'm very happy so far. I would just like to add a tool tip to some command buttons. I tried putting transparent shapes over/under the control. I've tried invisible buttons on top. All to no avail. Any one have any good solutions perhaps an alternate methode. TIA.

I've just started trying to use some. I have a requirement for
expandable/collapseable listboxes and the Active-X Outline and
TreeView are what I was looking for. I've tried playing with some of
the others including the 3D panel. With the panel, I've run into
the same thing you did. I was trying to make a button that has the
bitmap/icon and the word (checkmark and OK) on the same level. VFP
seems to only allow over and under. I'd like to see any examples that
you might be willing to part with for any of the controls that you've
experimented with. Thanks, Steve sdespres@erols.com
