It seems the TTF_ALWAYSTIP does not work (v13.0.0).

I tried make toolbar to display tooltips always. For the reason I set:

pTI->uFlags |= TTF_ALWAYSTIP;

in the OnToolHitTest(CPoint point, TOOLINFO* pTI) of the class derived from CXTPToolBar.

The result is: a tooltip (of the toolbar belonging to inactive frame window) is shown on a short period of time and disappear.

The possible reason: CXTPToolTipContext::FilterToolTipMessageHelper have such code

  if (m_pToolTip->GetSafeHwnd() && m_pToolTip->IsWindowVisible() && !bTopParentActive)
  {
   m_pToolTip->SendMessage(TTM_ACTIVATE, FALSE);
   return;
  }
- probably "&& !bTopParentActive" need the addition "&& !(tiHit.uFlags & TTF_ALWAYSTIP)"

Hi,

yes, TTF_ALWAYSTIP is not supported by CXTPToolTipContext.

Thanks.

Does the above correction will help? Or I can face with some hidden problems?
