Hi Paul! >>Header of column not when the mouse over Column or other object. >Can you tell me what problems do you have if the timer fires over the >grid? sometimes VFP crashes on inkey(0.01) statement with error: Datatype mismatch I dunno why it happens and just made changes to avoid firing the timer when the mouse is over the grid. I enable this control only over header area. >>property instead of TooltipText property. It is because of limitation of >>Tooltip length. >Basically, this is exactly what I didn't want to do because I wanted it to >work without any changes to existing apps/frameworks/classes. Yeah, it's a big headache, but it will be very convenient feature to have very long tooltips. > >The ToolTipText is limited to 127 chars in VFP5. Do you need more? Yeah, but AFAIR, there was one thread that the VFP has the bug with the length of Tooltips. If my memory serves me right, Nick Nekluydov had discovered this bug (the length of TooltipText property was really around 50 chars)
