Hi Tone,
I'm not sure of what you are asking for.
What do you mean by "more tooltips in one window"? As far as I know, a
control can only have one tooltip at a time. Are you wanting to set the text
dynamically? For example, would you like win32lib to call one of your
routines to get the text to display, whenever a tooltip is about to display?
I can do that.
What do you mean by "tooltip_rect"? Do you want to set the position of the
tooltip dynamically? I can do that too, if you want.
Can you give me some examples of what you are hoping to achieve?
--------------
Derek.

I draw polyline in window, each point in polylne is drawn as a little
circle. I want to display different tooltip for each cirlce (point) in
polyline.
One of the tooltip structures has rect member so it should be possible. I
tried a little but failed.

Thanks Tone. I understand now.
I've coded into the library this morning the ability to set the tooltip text
at the time Windows want's to display it. So I imagine that you can use this
facility to do what you are after. I'll build a small demo program to show
you what it can do.
