James,
I think it is related to the standard behavior that Windows provides to the tooltip class. They relate the tooltip to the mouse movements. Maybe there is a message to be sent to the tooltip that forces its inmediate display.
But after reviewing Samir's screenshot, I think that a different implementation may be taken. I would display an overlapping bitmaps with all the "simulated" tooltips on it. Similar to samples\newhelp,prg implementation.
I have a tooltip in a get and in a MsgBar, and I need to show both when I show my dialog, my app is for markets, and the use of mouse is rare in my app
I already tryed the ShowToolTip() method but it didn't work
I searched in the forum but didn't found a solution, some topics like these simple go on unanswered....
If I remember correctly, you need a tooltip class. There was one posted here some time ago.
The normal FW tooltip is not a class but rather some functions in TWindow (I think). This is why you need a Tooltip class.
Try searching again for "tooltip class."

I don't have the TTip class and don't like to use third code, Fivewin already have the code but it didn't work or I couldn't discover how to use because of the lack of comments...
But thanks for answer

I am trying to tell you that you can't do what you want using only FW native code. The functions are STATIC functions inside one of the FW PRGs, and you cannot call a STATIC function outside the PRG.
I know this because I spent many hours on this issue years ago.

So don't you think that Antonio should do something?
I really don't want to move the mouse via code and return to the original position just to show the tooltip...
I didn't find the TTip class
I can't find this class in my 9.06 version
I don't see that class either. Antonio?

I am out of the office until tomorrow, so I will check it as soon as I am back there where we have all our tools 
Please send me a reminder, if I don't answer by tomorrow, thanks
#include "FiveWin.ch"
function Main()
local oWnd, hWndTooltip
DEFINE WINDOW oWnd
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd ;
ON CLICK hWndTooltip := CreateTooltip( oWnd:hWnd, "Hello world" )
return nilI NEED to show the tooltip through a method or procedure...
Samir,
The question is: where the mouse will be ? If it goes out of the window then the tooltip will not be visible.
Is that fine for you ?
