Tooltip on a rectangular area

[infrared]

Hello,

I'm trying to add a rectangular area as a tool to a tooltip control.
It's working without a problem...

When I tried to put a button inside this rectangular area and I hovered the mouse over the button - the tooltip disappear.

I read the whole documentation about tooltips, and I know I should relay the button messages to the tooltip control, but still it doesn't work.

How can I make the whole area including the button a tooltip dispatchable?

Thank you,

If you are using MFC, create a CToolTipCtrl

I'm using win32.

I would make a separate tooltip for the BUTTON, with the same information.

What does your post "Forth Point Rectangle Point from Third point" with an absolutely unreadable code have to do with the OP's problem "Tooltip on a rectangular area"?
