I'm testing the activex .ocx file for TaskPanel in visual basic 6.  I've noticed that the tooltips don't appear for any of the items.  Even on the samples provided by the Codejock developers.  Does anybody have any idea why that is?

Hello,
 
Try in TaskPanel hover mouse on "My Computer "and "My Document" items. Another items just have no tooltip text defined.
 
Here code to specify tooltip:
Item.Tooltip = "Shows the disk drives and hardware connected this computer"

Yesterday, I looked through the code to make sure I was checking for tooltips on items that had tooltips assigned to them.  Today, I checked the same items and now the tooltips are showing.  I left the computer on all night long.  So, I think the state of the computer should be the same as yesterday.  I wonder what changed in my computer so that the tooltips appear today and not yesterday. 

Since yesterday was Halloween, maybe I had some evil spirit possessing my computer :)  He must of left last night.

Will you ever expose a MouseMove event for the Task Panel?  And maybe a Hit Test to see which item the mouse is over?

Hi,
glad it works now :)
 
For 10.4 we already added HotItem property and HotItemChanged event. Think it is what you need.
