Another Correction,  Darn Typo's

 Someone wrote me and asked how do I set the multi-column on a tooltip
 well, here it is.....(Derek you might want to add this)
 
 Find:
global procedure setHintEx(integer id,sequence text,atom exflags)
 
 near the end of the procedure you should see this 
 
 VOID=sendMessage(tooltipControl,lTTmsg,0,ti)
 
 Put the next line above the one I just typed above "Like this"
 
 VOID=sendMessage(tooltipControl, TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH, 0, 100)
 VOID=sendMessage(tooltipControl,lTTmsg,0,ti)

I tried to set this up in lTTmsg but couldnt figure out how to connect the
length on the string so that it would be automatic.
 
 Note:
 You will need to set the with where I have 100 on the end of the
 message to length you wish to wrap the line...'
 
 Alternatively you could do this:
 
 global procedure setHintEx(integer id,sequence text,atom exflags, integer len)
 
 VOID=sendMessage(tooltipControl, TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH, 0, len)
 
 and in your program do this:

>>>>> (Here's the Change)
 setHintEx( id, "text", 0, 100 )
 
 and this should work fine.
