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

Hi

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.

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.
