>I have experienced the failure of a form to release. It did not occur to me that fancytooltips might be the cause. I'll look at it again.

Use the last version. Petras confirmed he doesn't have this problem anymore. I think that the first version had a bug that might be the cause, but I haven't kept the track.

>I am also experiencing the situation where the first display of fancytooltips upon show()ing a form is truncated to the first few letters -- the same error Valadimir reports. It is not a particular problem if you do not turn on fancytooltips until after the form is show()n.

I look into this.

>It is a clever tool, congratulations. The only change I made to your older version was to install a ShowFancyTips property in the form to control display

You can now use the lShowTips property of the control.

>of the tips, a menu item to control the type of fancytooltip displayed and turn it off and on, and a few lines of code to suppress display if the objecunderthemouse is also the active control. I also moved the display closer to the top or bottom of the objectunderthemouse so it would not interfere with reading the value of the control.

Yes, I know I have to modify it somehow here...

>I am now looking at some way of displaying the fancytool tip without using a timer -- using the mousemove() event, maybe, since the timer can sometimes interefere with the display of selected text.

This means to modify the MouseMove for all your classes and, this way, you lose the flexibility of the FancyToolTip control (ie just drop it on any existing form and it will work). Don't establish connections between classes just for fancy issues.

>Specifically where a textbox is displaying numeric data, the timer seems to switch the display from its actual value to zero then back again. This only occurs if the numeric value is selected. I have not yet tracked down why this is so.

I will check this out.

>Anyway, congratulations on a useful and elegant tool. I am certain there are a lot of developers using it.

Thanks,
