Maybe, it's solved ?!
 
The reason for showing no tooltips in exe is depending on the used comctl32.dll.
Because the CJ's ListView works not with CheckBox-Style i switched to the MSComCtl-ListView (SP6).
This works normaly with comctl32.dll in version 5.82.
 
If you have a manifestfile and use InitCommonControls, the system uses an other dll for some controls including tooltips:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> 
<assembly 
   xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" 
   manifestVersion="1.0">
 <dependency>
  <dependentAssembly>
 <assemblyIdentity
   type="win32"
   name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
   version="6.0.0.0"
   publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
   language="*"
   processorArchitecture="x86"
 />
  </dependentAssembly>
 </dependency>
</assembly>
 
Version 6.0 is not redistributable and seams to be incompatible with the VB6-MSComctl.ocx.
 
Look also here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/bb776779(en-us,VS.85).aspx
 
I have removed my manifest because i don't need it anymore. CJ's does now the skinning, and what happens: tooltips will be shown in exe.

Yes, but now i don't beleave, that it is a skinning problem.
If i deactivate skinning and create the exe the tooltips will also not be shown.
 
But, if i install it to customers, it works, so we can close this topic.
 
My be, thats a problem of the developemnet environment (many Applications as VisualStudio6, VisualStudio2003, VisualBasicExpress2005, VisualBasic2008, Office 97, Office 2003, and many more).

I have now activated the skinframework for the whole applicaton.
In the vb6-ide all tooltips work fine!
 
If i compile to .exe, no tooltips will be shown.
It belongs to all tooltips in the application:
 
CommandBars
DockingPane
PropertyGrid
 
I have also an own ToolTip-Class (from Codeguru), to show tooltips on other controls (like buttons, options, ListView).
This tooltips will also not be shown.
 
Because tooltips are very urgent for the application, i need as fast as possible a solution !
 
Environment:
Windows XP SP3
VisualBasic SP6
Codejocks 12.0.0
 
Some additional informations:
 
This problem occurs only on my developement-environment.
If i install my application on a windows2000 or an other windowsXP, the tooltips appears as they should be.
 
Any suggestions ?
