Hi,

I want to create a formated tooltip like that from Trillian:

Thanks for help

From the looks of it, I would guess that it's not a true tooltip, but, rather, some sort of window (CWnd) structure. You can construct the same sort of thing using a modeless dialog.

There are some articles on www.codeguru.com about such tooltips.

See "RichText Tool-tip control" By Paul S. Vickery at http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/RichToolTipCtrl.asp

According to the article, it's a drop-in replacement for MFC's CToolTipCtrl control, with the added benefit of being able to specify rich-text and images as the tool-tip text.
