    Hover text in MFC?

    How would I go about displaying hover text when going over a tool item? say your in IE (or whatever browser), and you throw your mouse over the back button, and it'll hover "Back to Cboard bla bla"....How can I do that using MFC? thx.

    For toolbars or menu items, MFC does it for you if you place the right string resources. For example, for the button IDC_DOSOMETHING, add a string resource with the ID IDC_DOSOMETHING that contains "String1\nString2". String1 will be displayed in the status bar, String2 in a tool tip.
    All the buzzt!
