Display Tooltips arbitrarily as Baloon Help
How can I display a ToolTip arbitrarily whenever a control recieves focus i. e. whenever a control receives focus irrespective of from keyboard or mouse the tooltip should automatically pop up.
Also can I use ToolTip to display informational messages, say for input errors when a user is entering data into a control. For example, if a TextBox is supposed to accept numeric data only, then if the user tries to enter Aphabetic data into it then the message should be displayed in ToolTip rather than MsgBox.
A kind of Baloon Help to be precise.
This is to be done through VB only, API can be used.

Why not try using the message box instead? ANother method would be setting the tooltip text upon detecting the error, then send the mouse over that control in order for the tooltip to pop up.
