How do I display a ballon tooltip manually as in the class below?

http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/balloonhelp.asp - http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/balloonhelp.asp

I've seen the samples for the Tray Icon which uses a ballon (but a feature of Windows 2K & up). I've also seen the command bars tooltip using ballon style. Can this be used to show a message say on a text box?

Different behave between CStandardTooltip & CXTPToolTipContextToolTip (CLunaToolTip).

Test it with TooltipContext sample.

1)
change in the dialog
    m_moduleContext.SetStyle(xtpToolTipRTF);
to
    m_moduleContext.SetStyle(xtpToolTipBalloon);

activate the dialog.
move mouse from top side over a checkbox, mith CStandardTooltip it will show, hide, show.
with CXTPToolTipContextToolTip it work.

2) Add a tooltip to a groupbox. (Options)
With CLunaToolTip it will show, but not with CStandardTooltip.

Can you repalce the StandardTooltips with a own derive from
CXTPToolTipContextToolTip.

Thanks

Oleg, thanks for the answer. I have looked at ToolTipContext carefully, and unless I'm losing it, I can't seem to find how to display the tooltip when I need it (not mouseover). Any other suggestions?
