Hi!

There is no way to fix this for default tool tip. You will have to use some custom tool tip control, like a Multiline - Fancy Tool Tip control in the downloads section of this site.

The default tool tip window for FoxPro is created before your form. As a result tool tip will be UNDER the AlwaysOnTop window, just because Z-order, despite tool tip window is also AlwaysOnTop. This is a bug in the FoxPro (and probably in many other WIndows applications too), because there is an easy way to move tool tip window in z-order above the Always-OnTop form using a single call of API function. Unfortunately, the function should be called only after tool tip window is displayed, so no way to fix this from inside of the FoxPro program.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
