__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
        : TForm(Owner)
{
   HWND const hToolTip =
      CreateWindow( TOOLTIPS_CLASS, NULL, TTS_BALLOON, 0, 0, 0, 0, Handle, 
NULL, HInstance, NULL );

   if ( hToolTip != NULL )
   {
      TOOLINFO tool_info = {0};
      tool_info.cbSize = sizeof(tool_info);
      tool_info.uFlags = TTF_SUBCLASS | TTF_TRANSPARENT;
      tool_info.hwnd = Edit1->Handle;
      tool_info.lpszText = Edit1->Text.c_str();
      CopyRect( &tool_info.rect, &(Edit1->ClientRect) );

      SNDMSG( hToolTip, TTM_ADDTOOL, 0, 
reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>(&tool_info) );
   }
}
