HowTo: popup window like tooltip ...

[craig knutson]

... type of control.

i would like to "pop up" a window that has descriptive text in it like a tooltip window. BUT, i would like the capability of having a multiline window. i guess, almost "help text" type of stuff.

i once saw an example of how to "do your own" tooltip window. can someone direct me to an example like this.

my goal is: when the mouse hovers over a control on my dialog, (modeless in this case), i will popup a little window with descriptive text as to what the control is for, and how to use it.

thanks much!
