Common solution for this tooltip problem is:
 

BOOL CMasterDialog::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)

{

NMHDR* pNMHDR = (NMHDR*)lParam;

switch (pNMHDR->code)

{

case TTN_SHOW:

{

if (m_TT.GetSafeHwnd())

{

// make sure the tooltip is at the top of the "Z" order, otherwise

// it will appear behind popup windows....

::SetWindowPos(m_TT, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0,

SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE);

}

}

break;

}

return CDialog::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);

}

Hi,

If you haven't set the WS_EX_TOPMOST style of the tooltip this could occure.
Another solution - in the TTN_SHOW handler (OnNotify) bring the tooltip to from by calling

// make sure the tooltip is at the top of the "Z" order, otherwise

// it will appear behind any popup windows....
::SetWindowPos(hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE);
 
I hope this helps

Hi,
I have a dockable pane which a dialog box attach to it. The dialog contains a button which has a tooltip. The problem is that when the pane is floating, the tooltip appears behind the pane.
I attached a small sample to demonstrate the problem (Float the left pane and see the behaviour of the tooltips).
