How to display Help Strings for Menu items?

[Ravi Kiran]

Hi,

When user brings up a menu list, and srolls down, i want to display help strings/tips in a status bar (below), like in VC.

In VB 5.0, the menu editor doesn't allow you to specify a string as help-string.

Also, the menu item doesn't get a "Mousemove" event either. So what is the way? Subclassing?!

I found it myself. Sorry... if you have taken trouble to find for me.

Here it is: MSDN article ID Q185451.

Also on Codeguru-VB site, i found a couple of other nice ones too...
