Visual Studio 2005 - tooltips
Hello guys
I am having trouble displaying my tooltip windows in VS2005 compiled projects (32bit option on a 64bit system).
They used work when compiled with VC6 on 32bit machines.
I am creating a window of TOOLTIP_CLASS in CWnd::OnCreate() of the owning window
and using it with messages TTM_UPDATETIPTEXT, TTM_TRACKPOSITION, TTM_TRACKACTIVATE messages whenever I wish to show them.
Cheers,
Sebastian

I think there won't be any consequence as the tooltips would work correctly for the specific OS. You can also refer to this article.

OK, these macros had defaulted to Windows Server 2003 in my builds.
So, I cannot define WINVER for Windows XP or higher ?
I will be trying it out - in the meantime: What are the consequence for my tooltips based on these macros.
