I am having a problem with the ToolTip in .NET 2.0. When I set the IsBalloon to true, on some computers, the tooltip will not display at all. I thought maybe that is just displaying off screen, but I have also tried to hard code the coordinates. On my computer its fine, on my testers computer it is fine, but on the users computer it doesn't display. If I set the IsBalloon to false, it will show up, but it's the ugly version, that is all square and doesn't have the pointer to the control that I want it.

FYI - I have created a Setup project and that is what was installed on the users PC's. So they should have everything that the program uses.

Anyone have any ideas?

I am also facing the exact same problem as maddman. The version of comctl32.dll in my system is 5.82.2900.2180.

I found the information in this link useful in solving the problem ;) - http://www.apress.com/ApressCorporate/supplement/1/386/1590594398-3224.pdf (HTML Version here - http://72.14.235.104/search?q=cache:n677bNJa6oEJ:www.apress.com/ApressCorporate/supplement/1/386/1590594398-3224.pdf+.NET+ToolTip+IsBalloon+sample&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=9). Luks like a registry entry is the culprit. Now I get the tooltip with the balloon :).

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\EnableBalloonTips]

It looks like the PC has version 5.82 or the comctl32.dll. I thought maybe another version might be registered somewhere else but I can't regsvr32 the dll, it says no entry point was found. Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Dear maddman

I've the same observation. Butit hasworkedbefor thelast view month. I think a security Update has changed the behavior. Now the Tooltips as Balloon are only displayed when
