The GetItemText event does not fire with no focus

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a VB6 app that uses the Calendar Control 11.2.2
I am trying to do custom tooltips.  To that end:

    MonthlyViewCal.EnableToolTips True
    MonthlyViewCal.AskItemTextFlags.SetFlag xtpCalendarItemText_EventToolTipText

then in event:

    Private Sub MonthlyViewCal_GetItemText(ByVal ItemParams As            XtremeCalendarControl.CalendarGetItemTextParams)
         If ItemParams.Item = xtpCalendarItemText_EventToolTipText Then
             ' build the tooltip here. 
         End If

    End Sub

This works as long as the control has focus.  But if it does not, the even won't even fire.  What can I do (short of the calendar control always having focus) to make it fire when it does not have focus?

Thanks.
