Hello,

I use the following code to display a tooltip on a textbox. This is
like a 'static' tooltip. It appears without mousehovering and we can
make it appear whenever we want:

Public Sub ShowBalloonTip(hwndEdit As Long, szTitle As String, szText
As String, tipIcon As EditTipIcon)
    
    Dim ebtTip As EDITBALLOONTIP
    
    With ebtTip
        .cbStruct = Len(ebtTip)
        .pszText = StrPtr(szText)
        .pszTitle = StrPtr(szTitle)
        .ttiIcon = tipIcon
    End With
    
    SendMessage hwndEdit, EM_SHOWBALLOONTIP, 0&, ebtTip
    
End Sub

But of course, this is for textbox. I saw a very similar thing used by
a program on listview. It was the same kind of balloon tip ( PS. i
know how to make the usual balloon tips when mouse hovers something )
as used by a textbox. How to do it?
