Rimantas,

Messages appear in the parent widow's status bar (if it exists). Tooltips appear near the control. I would not suggest using tooltips on controls as they get annoying very quickly. What I have done on occasion is to display a tooltip only if the user makes an invalid entry. A tooltip is better than a msgInfo() in this case because the user isn't forced to respond. I also change the background color of the control to pink when the entry is invalid so it is very obvious.
