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.
