Sorry, I only gave you half the story. One also needs something like:

====
BOOL CTTDialog::PreTranslateMessage( MSG* pMsg )
{
if( m_bShowToolTips &&
pMsg->message >= WM_MOUSEFIRST &&
pMsg->message <= WM_MOUSELAST )
{
// Make a copy of the message:
MSG msgcopy;
::CopyMemory( &msgcopy, pMsg, sizeof(MSG) );

// May need to alter the copy subtly
// if it is meant for a control:

if( pMsg->hwnd != m_hWnd )
{
// Want to relay the message to the top-level control.
// [A child of the dialogue box.]
// If the message is sent to a child of the control
// (as can happen with combo boxes) then we need to
// work a bit harder:
HWND hWndParent = ::GetParent(msgcopy.hwnd);
while( hWndParent && hWndParent != m_hWnd )
{
msgcopy.hwnd = hWndParent;
hWndParent = ::GetParent(hWndParent);
}
}

// Relay the copied (and possibly butchered) message.

if( msgcopy.hwnd )
{
m_ToolTip.RelayEvent( &msgcopy );
}
}

BOOL bResult = CDialog::PreTranslateMessage( pMsg );
return bResult;
}
===

I should add that I didn't invent *all* of this - I got the basis from
CodeGuru somewhere! My contribution may have been adding tools to the
rectangles of the dialogue itself, to make it work with static and disabled
controls - ie the bit which works sometimes :-(

Bingo! [Light bulb illuminates above head!] Ignore my comments about it
only working sometimes!

If the disabled control is within a group box, then it has to be after the
group box in the tab order, and then it works fine. Doh! (As they say.)

Hi David,
I added your code back then and got tool tips. But I still didn't get
tips on disabled windows, no group box. I didn't have the time to dig.
The need tool tip method works fine for me.

Best, Dan.

I am happy with both methods now. Thanks for tempting me to think about it
again!
