Turning off the hint for a tree node

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how i can turn off the hint that pops up everytime my mouse moves on the tree node of a tree view (provided that it is cut). I want to suppress that. Is there anyway i can accomplish that.
Note: it has nothing to do with Showhint property.

Thanx in advance.

i havent tried it but dont see why it wouldnt work:
in object inspector set tooltips to false.

or on a mouse event
treeview1.tooltips := false;

Depends on Delphi version.

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
SetWindowLong(TreeView1.Handle,
GWL_STYLE,
GetWindowLong(TreeView1.Handle,GWL_STYLE) or $80);
end;

Well, I admit, I was overkilling. Version 4.70 and above of commctrl (I think IE 3.0 and above) support the TVS_NOTOOLTIPS which is $80 and unless you are using a very old version of the library smurff is right.

And it works, too. Nice to learn new things.

the codes u ppl wrote only work in win2k, if u try that code in win95/98, it still is displaying tooltip. i think it is coz of older version of commctrl, is it right?

Installing a newer Internet Explorer (e.g. 5.0 or later) _will_ fix it even on 95/98.

cant it is possible with the default version that is installed with 95/98(without any kind of upgradation).

I guess not. If the functions not in the .dll then you`ll have to upgrade if you want this functionality. If I were you put something in your app. that will check the version number and if its the wrong one then automatically run the upgrade.
