Hi!

We solved this problem by improvement in the Fancy Toll Tip control. We changed the code - added new property to tell control to force self show aside of the ActiveX. Now tool tip appear at top, at bottom, at left or at right side of ActiveX, so it is not covered by ActiveX. Anyway, if you have ActiveX controls all over the form, you will have a lot of mess...

I wondered if SHOW WINDOW ... IN WINDOW command can show the custom-defined window over the activeX control. If yes, Fancy Tool Tip control could be made with use of the separate window inside of the form.

HTH.

>>ActiveX control is actually a separate window, and by default is always on top. That's why none of VFP controls in the same form can appear on top of ActiveX. There is a workaround by covering the form with ActiveX by another form, but it might not be worth the troubles.
