    Re: tooltip multiline

    I'm not sure about this (only briefly dabbled with tooltips) but I think when you're setting the tooltip text, use the carriage return escape sequence "\n".

    Sor for text like...

    Tooltip Line 1
    Tooltip Line 2
    Tooltip Line 3

    do...

    CString strTooltipText = "Tooltip Line 1\nTooltip Line 2\nTooltip Line 3";
    Tooltip.SetText (strTooltipText); // or whatever the method for setting the text...

    Hope that works...

    Re: Actaully it didn't work.

    Hi.

    Before I try this.
    It didn't work.

    Does anyone have a good idea?
    I heard IE4.0 common control can this?

    Regards.

    Re: tooltip multiline

    You have to play with SetMaxTipWidth(). If tooltip text exceeds this width, text is broken down into next line. Look at documentation for more details including TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH.
