>I'm trying to provide a floating tooltip in a treeview. On the form there are other Activex controls too. Native VFP controls like editbox and textbox (and others) get behind activex. Is there a way to get in front of them or a tooltip property for treeview that I missed ? TIA.

Hi Cetin -

interesting problem.

i tried
THISFORM.ole_Tree.OBJECT.ToolTipText = "Hello" ... no such property

i tried to get native control in front with
FORMAT menu options SendToFront and SendToBack ... no good
ole_Tree.ZORDER(1) ... no good
ole_Tree.OBJECT.ZORDER(1) ... no good

i tried the same techniques to get another activex control
in front of the ole_Tree that was already on the form .... no good

one thing i did notice however was that all activex components
i subsequently added were place BEHIND any activex control already
on the form.

pretty clear you don't have access to a real tooltip, so you
would have to implement your own by detecting mouseover event
in conjunction perhaps with a time.

you might consider for example using an RTF control for your tool
tip, adjusting LEFT & TOP and visibility. i would guess you would
have to remove your treeview, put the RTF control on first, then
put the treeview back on. thus RTF should be always on top.

did not experiment to see if same holds true for native control.
