Build 1286, VC++ 6.0
Steps to reproduce:
1. Click FIW dropdown
2. Hover over any file - you'll see a tooltip just below mouse cursor
3. Press down arrow (on the keyboard)
4. Wait a second and you'll see a tooltip in the upper left corner of the screen (!)
5. Switch to any other application with Alt+Tab, the tooltip will stay until you go back to VC and open FIW combo.

| Yes, it does. I didn't install 1287 before, because there was nothing relevant in the history of changes. |

do you mean the FIW drop down on VAView? if so, i get the tooltip when hovering over one of the files, but when i press the down arrow the tooltip disapears. no tooltip shows up in the corner of the screen.
this is with VC6 and VAX 1287
i am only testing with a tiny project, since i dont really use VC6, so that could have something to do with it. |

Yes, FIW on VAView. Reproduced with a very small project:
Note: the mouse cursor is over the file named MagicRun.cpp (PrintScreen didn't catch the cursor). |

i am doing the same thing you are. initially i was using a small project, so there were only 6 files. i have now downloaded a larger VC6 project from codeproject, so there is a long file list in the pull down list.
i still don't get this tooltip problem.
can anyone else reproduce this? Cezariusz is there anything different about your system? |

Got it! It happens only when you have enabled XP theme for msdev (see the screenshot). Create file "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\Common\\MSDev98\\Bin\\msdev.exe.manifest" with the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
processorArchitecture="x86"
version="6.0.9782.2"
type="win32"
name="msdev"/>
<description>Visual C</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"
processorArchitecture="x86"
/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>
Besides this there's nothing special in my configuration:
Windows XP Professional SP1
Visual C++ 6.0 SP6
WndTabs 3.20

Good detective work.
We suppose we could say, "workaround is don't use..."  |

| Any chance for a better workaround than "don't use"? It happens even without Alt-Tabbing to another application. I'm using XP theme because it helps me to design dialogs in applications targeted to Windows XP. |
