This one:

Strange tooltip display    CChris  
  Oct 06, 2004 14:27 PDT   



I have a window with a TabControl, created with a parent and only the 
WS_SIZEBOX style.

Not far from the initial position for this window is a PushButton called 

"Show toolbox" with the same tooltip as the caption. It tggles the 
window
visibility on and off.

When I clck on this buttton with the window still invisible, and if I 
don't quickly move the mouse after clicking, the tooltip gets displayed 
in a window the size of the window to display. It stays there till the 
mouse pointer gets off the button's caption.

I could observe this spectacular effect only the first time I click the 
button after opening the main window. Clicking the window invisible and 
bringing it back does nthing unexpected, and the toolti displays in
the rectangl it is supposed to lie in.
The effect is fairly reproducible whenever I launch the application.

Any idea of where's the bug? Still Win98SE. All right, that's the bug in 

the first place but it(s strange behaviour anyway.

CChris
