Tooltip problem still

[Anonymous]

OK, I have a form and I have tool tips on most controls.
If I set the form's showModal property to True the tool tips display, but if
I set it to False they do not.
I have Referenced the AutoCAD Focus Control but this makes no difference.

Does anyone have a solution please?

I'm using AutoCAD 2006 if that makes a difference. The tool tips only work
if you click on them, not when you hover over them.
Even if the form is not set to modal The AutoCAD main window has focus and
not the form so I guess it needs focus?

Can you post a copy of the DVB in question? I'm curious to see if it'll act the same way here.

I am running 2006 as well. I create a userform [with the focus control on
it] and a startup routine in the ThisDrawing module like this

Public Sub Test()
UserForm1.Show vbModeless
End Sub

Then at the command prompt I type vbarun and select the Test sub to run.

As is typically of all Windows apps, you will not get tooltips of apps [in
this case your UserForm] that do not have focus.

Well I guess I did something really dim. I included the reference to the
acFocus control but didn't actually add it to my form
I hadn't realised as I had no textboxes on it - Doh! Thanks to everyone for
the help
