   Well baltoro. That wasnt very helpful. This OLE thing is something ive never done. I dropped the adding of the toolwindow to the toolbar and added just the toolbar inside the toolwindow then heed the toolwindow and it works. Thanks a lot guys. The example is kinda sketchy. I'll clean things up later. Here it goes.
   Thanks a lot guys and laters

Hello Sr xandaz, in your toolbar you have forgot to put TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS, after you can send a messaget TB_GETTOLTIPS, and store the handle of tooltip, after set the tooltips to a rebar handle. After this you can deal with notify. These code are based in your 2nd example.

Code Select Expand


.data
htool dd ?
sametoall dd "empty slot",00h

.code
;ToolboxWndProc  PROC ...
...
            invoke  CreateWindowEx,NULL,addr ToolbarClass,NULL,WS_VISIBLE+WS_CHILD+TBSTYLE_ALTDRAG+TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS,\
                        0,0,CW_USEDEFAULT,CW_USEDEFAULT,hWnd,NULL,hInstance,NULL
            mov     hToolbar,eax
INVOKE SendMessage,hToolbar,TB_GETTOOLTIPS,0,0
mov htool,eax
invoke SendMessage,hReBar,RB_SETTOOLTIPS,htool,0
...

.ELSEIF uMsg == WM_NOTIFY
mov ebx,lParam
mov eax,[ebx].NMHDR.code
.IF eax == TTN_NEEDTEXT
mov ecx,[ebx].NMHDR.idFrom
;in ecx have the ID of button that send this notify message, deal with it
mov eax,offset sametoall
mov [ebx].TOOLTIPTEXT.lpszText,eax
mov eax,FALSE
ret
.endif
