images in Tooltip windows

Hi there-

I am working on an app with another programmer and I am trying to find out if it is possible to insert an image (.bmp or .jpg or otherwise) into a tooltip window.

In researching at msdn there is no mention of whether image files can be put into tooltips. There is a reference to imagery being incorporated into Stack Panels but I dont think that is what I need.

If tooltips DO NOT allow images in their content. Is there another option that would allow for imagery based popups (within the same application)?

thank you very much

If you are using a CHTML document with MFC, you might could possibly use javascript and CSS / DHTML to simulate this.

CHTML document would be the contents of the tooltip?

No, CHTML would be the contents of the panel you are displaying. The tool tip would be a javascript rollover, with the contents being displayed in some <div> section you defined that is only visible when the mouse of positioned over your widget. Inside the <div>, you could have text, images, forms, whatever.

ohhhh I see what you are saying. Within the CHTML panel these image based tooltips would appear using DHTML/CSS formatting.

So is there a way to customize these tooltips system wide using the MFC?
I am looking for way to have certain words that show up either in Word Docs, Excel, IE, Outlook, Firefox as highlighted and then have it so that the user onMouseover would be shown a tooltip with an image.

thanks for your help-
Jon
