It's certainly a challange to create a control yourself. But if there is a native control, it's probably better to go with that. For example, Win32Lib has emulated tooltips. They took forever to code, and cases that I hadn't initially considered kept popping up and needing special code. Win32LibEx uses real tooltips, and, in addition to being easier to maintain, will work better under future versions of Windows. -- David Cuny
