I was actually looking for something else when i ran across this post by Dermot, in the middle of another discussion .....

if oAutoIt then
	-- This will create a tooltip
	oAutoIt:ToolTip("This is a tooltip\r\n\r\nThis is a multiline tooltip\r\n\r\nThis is another line of text")
	
	Application.Sleep(2000)
	
	-- Clear the tooltip
	oAutoIt:ToolTip("")
end

Very interesting, but way over my head ! can someone explain a little more about this, i tried searching some of the keywords and didnt really return any useful results,

this is using the COM method from what i can see, but can you also call the function from the dll in the normal manner to get the result of multiline tooltips ? (the DLL will accept both COM and standard DLL calls)


TIA
