1 - I did exactly this. But when I placed the code into my parent window in
the general section it did not show. So, does this belong in the onpaint for
the statusbar?

2 - I was given credit for this fix. See the forum.

3 - placing the SBT_TOOLTIPS did not do anything. Where exactly do I place it
in the IDE?
