Tooltip formatting
Anybody know how to custom draw tooltips? I need to display a tooltip that is formatted: italics, bold, underline etc.

Looks good, but I really don't fancy going through the hassle of going after money to pay for it. Know of any free options?
THTMLHint is free for non-commercial use...
You use it like normal HTML:
<B>Bold</B><I>Italic</I><U
You can also insert images from ImageList and color the text, background, make margins... lot of stuff :-)

Yeah, looks great, if there is no other option then I will try to chase down some money for it here.
We would be using it commercially though, so would have to pay. Any other options?

Hi Dave ...
You have a couple of options :-
1. Write your own,
2. Use Freeware
For freeware components that have a good list of features, and most of which include sourcecode, I'd recommend :-

If you'd prefer to write your own, this isn't too complex, let us know exactly (!) what you need, and we'll try and throw something together :-)
Hope this helps,
Steve

This is the best Freeware / OpenSource VCL Component out there that I have found for D3, D4, D5, D6, D7 :-
http://www.delphiarea.com/products/assistant/
It looks, and acts exactly like MS Office Assistant. It has animations, a variety of actors(which vary in size) to read the hint, languages translations, and all source code !
Any better :-) ?

ps ... I've just installed and compiled this component :-)
It requires another 3rd party component to be not installed, but to have the .PAS in the same directory as the assistant :-

It is incredible !!! ... Apart from being a tad smaller, you couldn't askfor anymore ... it has everything !
Hope this was what you're looking for,
