I have a WTL Dialog application that has a tool tips class. For some reason, despite the fact that I am setting TTM_SETMAXTIPWIDTH to a -1, I have tooltips that are getting cut off. Searching around I found in MSDN the article on "Implementing Multiline ToolTips". If I understand it correctly, to implement multiline tooltips, you have to hook the WM_NOTIFY of each control that wants to have a multiline tooltip. It seems like a bit of work! Also, what about controls that do not implement WM_NOTIFY, like the Edit Control?
WM_NOTIFY is sent to parents, so hopefully it is not as much work as you have the impression it is. The WM_NOTIFY is sent to controls that did not exist in 16-bit Windows; the older controls get notifications in WM_COMMAND messages. I don't know about tooltips, but look at the WM_COMMAND message for probably equivalents for older controls such as the edit control.
