    How to display Help Strings for Menu items?

    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?!
