hTooltip ActiveX DLL provides you with an easy way you can use to create real native Windows tooltips in your apps. With this library you can create multiline balloon tooltips, adjust their time and view parameters (backcolor, forecolor, internal indents, etc.), insert title and one of the predefined system icons, display tooltips on demand at any specified point.
hTooltip also implements many useful features (such as the MouseEnter/MouseLeave events for your control) in addition to the standard tooltip functionality and can be used not only in VB6 but in many development environments which support COM - Visual Basic for Applications in MS Office, Visual FoxPro, Delphi, the .NET Framework and so on.
Take hTooltip for a test drive to see what it can actually do for you!
