Hi
Create a Tooltip for dropdown menu using Win32 .
Thanks and Regrads

..on a toolbar, or on a dropdown menu? You contradict yourself in the two sentences you wrote.
One is easy, one is hard. There's a good reason the help text for a menu item goes in the status bar normally...

Plz sir... CPallini CPallini abuz drugz, plz plz help urgent.

I know of no thing as a "toolbar menu".
Do you mean a popup menu, that you make appear when someone clicks on a toolbar button?
If you use TrackPopupMenu (from memory), then the window used as a parameter will get WM_MENUSELECT messages, and you can then put help text somewhere (eg the status bar).
Enough guessing - you need to provide more information.

Pls be clear about what your problem *is*.
Do you have a toolbar?
Do you have a handler that is run when a button is pressed?
Have you make a popupmenu? (hint: TrackPopupMenu).
Have you written a handler for WM_INITMENU?
The answers to those all need to be "Yes" before you need further help.
I've already said putting a tooltip next to a menu that has popped up is very hard, and you should use some other way of giving feedback to the user. MFC uses the status bar for it. If they're not clever enough to put a tooltip next to the menu, then neither are you - or me.

This is the last time I repeat myself.
When the mouse moves about the menu, a WM_MENUSELECT is passed to the window handle specified in the TrackPopupMenu function. (You are using this function? I know of no MagicMenuButton controls in standard Win32).
Handle that message, and display text somewhere.
If you start popping up windows, then that may mess up the menu message loop. I take the fact that the clever people at microsoft, who are (hopefully) better programmers than either of us, use the status bar for menu help text as a very strong hint that putting tooltips up is (a) a bad idea, (b) very hard.
Menus are a very opaque part of windows, as they have lots of strange behaviours that date back to Windows 1.0...
Try putting a static control on your dialog, or the status bar, and display the help text there.
Bye,
Iain.

Oh, one more thing. Perhaps I have more important things to do with my time than helping you? Unless you give me money, I don't provide a 11 minute response time.
The problem may be important to you, and helps you pay your mortgage. It doesn't pay mine.

I'm too gullible!
I even followed your link, expecting a webpage saying "Yeah, right, do your own work, or such..."
I didn't find any bugs in your code though!

Reminds me of this post:
http://successfulsoftware.net/2007/08/16/the-software-awards-scam/[^]
The author subitted a text file with "award me stars", renamed to awardmestars.exe to shareware sites, and got lots of awards...
And some very funny comments to his blog post.
