How to Wordwrap on ToolTipText Property 1

[LVDr]

Can anyone tell me how to wordwrap the ToolTipText property in VB6? I cannot find any such discussion in my hard copy references. While I try to keep my text strings as short as possible, they sometimes stretch beyond the small-size forms I use. Is there also a way in which to easily change the font & color of this text?

VB's tooltip implementation does not wordwrap. To get around this you have to write your own tooltips code using the tooltips class in the common controls library. There are numerous examples of how to do this on the Internet. Here's one example:
