Balloon Tooltips

[ar4i]

I'm useing Delphi7 and I wanted to use those baloon tooltips, but didn't find any suitable way to do it.

I've found this:

but it doesn't seem to work fine for me on winxp - the background of tooltip is allways black nomatter the color I pass and the tip wouldn't show everytime I want it to... anyone having a better idea?

Remove from code the next lines:
SendMessage(hWndTip, TTM_SETTIPBKCOLOR, BackCL, 0);
SendMessage(hWndTip, TTM_SETTIPTEXTCOLOR, TextCL, 0);

If you'll have the problems, write me and I'll send the own code (works for me in my projects)

With best regards, Mike Shkolnik
