how do u disable that 'tooltip' function in a treeview 1

[Painkiller]

Hi all,

When the text of a node in a treeview is greater than the width of the node, then u see a sort of tooltip displaying the full text of the node (when u put your mouse on the node). Does anyone know how I can disable this?

Thanx in advance

A somewhat decent article that explains notifications and has an example of using the treeview control:

Found a better, easier way:

Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" _
    (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" _
    (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long

Const TVS_NOTOOLTIPS = &H80
Const GWL_STYLE = (-16)

' turn tooltips off
SetWindowLong TreeView1.hwnd, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(TreeView1.hwnd, _
    GWL_STYLE) Or TVS_NOTOOLTIPS

' turn tooltips on
SetWindowLong TreeView1.hwnd, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(TreeView1.hwnd, _
    GWL_STYLE) And (Not TVS_NOTOOLTIPS)
