Tooltips don't work in a CXTPToolBar in an ActiveX Control. I asked support for advice and couldn't get an answer. Well, I managed to make it work. So if this can help, here is how I solved my problem:

I created a subclass of CXTPToolBar where I declared an override of OnMouseMove and RelayEvent.

void clToolBarInControl::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)

{

RelayEvent(WM_MOUSEMOVE, (WPARAM)nFlags,

MAKELPARAM(LOWORD(point.x), LOWORD(point.y)));

CXTPToolBar::OnMouseMove(nFlags, point);

}

void clToolBarInControl::RelayEvent(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM

lParam)

{

MSG msg;

msg.hwnd= m_hWnd;

msg.message= message;

msg.wParam= wParam;

msg.lParam= lParam;

msg.time= 0;

CPoint point;

point.x = LOWORD (lParam);

point.y = HIWORD (lParam);

// FilterToolTipMessage calls ScreenToClient on the Point so we need

// to make sure the Point coordinates are in Client coordinates.

::ClientToScreen( m_hWnd, &point );

msg.pt = point;

FilterToolTipMessage(&msg);

}

I hope this can help someone with the same problem.

Cheers!

Linda
