The reason I said there is a limit is because I use a strcpy to put the tooltip text in the szText field of the TOOLTIPTEXT structure (I pasted it below). There is a pointer member as well, but I've never used it. I wrote my TOOLTIP stuff many years ago, so maybe it's wrong now. Do you not use the szText member for tooltips?

typedef struct tagNMTTDISPINFOA {

NMHDR hdr;

LPSTR lpszText;

char szText[80];

HINSTANCE hinst;

UINT uFlags;

#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0300)

LPARAM lParam;

#endif

} NMTTDISPINFOA, *LPNMTTDISPINFOA;

Hi,

1. yes. Add CXTPToolTipContext as member,

override OnWndMsg

BOOL CMyView::OnWndMsg(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)
{

m_ToolTipContext.FilterToolTipMessage(this, message, wParam, lParam);

return CWnd::OnWndMsg(message, wParam, lParam, pResult);
}

and override

INT_PTR CMyView::OnToolHitTest(CPoint point, TOOLINFO* pTI) const

2. Standard Tooltip doesn't have such limit....

1. Is it possible to use XTP tooltips in a view? I only saw examples for toolbars...

2. Is it possible to extend the tooltip text limit beyond 80 characters? I've seen other tooltip libraries do it, but I'm not sure how to do it. I really need more than 80, and I need some more styles...

Thanks!
