My first post!

Am hoping someone can help me with something that on the face of it should be fairly trivial to do, but is causing me a lot of pain.

I am creating a dialogue which I am placing derived CEdit controls on.

All I want to be able to do get a tooltip displayed when I hover over a CEdit control, but having scoured the web for info, it seems that there are various methods for doing this (some of which I have to say I don't entirely understand due to my relative inexperience with MFC).

Does anyone have a straightforward easy to understand way of doing this?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks alot for the link - unfortunately our IT police have blocked it as un-categorized so I shall try and get it unblocked and look at it.

In the meantime I've got something working - found this article :-
