MultiLine Tooltips

[MarkRuse]

I am currently trying to display rather large amounts of text in various control tooltips. I would like to make them multiline, so I have sent in a crlf which seems not to translate (I see the two 'unprintable' characters). Does anybody know of if I can hook into the API to achieve this ?

Thanks

When you say you "sent in" crlf characters, how did you do this?

Try something like:

strTooltip = "This is line 1" & vbCRLF & "This is line 2"

I haven't tried it with tooltips, but it works fine in message boxes.

Hi WoodLark,

I am sending in the CRLF as in your example. What seems to be happening is that the tooltip is not processing the characters, ie just displaying them. Any other ideas.

Mark.

You're right. I just tried it! However, I did find code at the following URL which supposedly will allow you to do it. Good Luck
