I need to support popup windows like I see in a treeview when I cannot 
see the entire line.  Does the Win32 api already have this support for 
XP? or do I have to write my own?  I notice that some of them have 
gradient support.

Also, what is that control called?  I am sure I it's not called a popup.

Those are called hint windows.

Yes.  The VCL has a THintWindow class that you can use to display your own
arbitrary hint messages anywhere on the screen.

I use CPPBuilder V5.0 but I don't use VCL.  That's why I posted the 
question here and not in the VCL forum.  I will look at the VCL source 
code and see if I can convert it to plain C.  Thank you for the help.
