 Vb thunder Cooltips don't display on Win 95 machine

Hi All
I have implemented the VB thunder Cooltip Dll in my app, and they display
fine on two test machines (one Win 2K, one Win 98) but when the app is
installed on the target Win 95 machines, the tooltip simply does not
display.
The dll is installed and registered on the target machines.

I would be very grateful for any help.

Thanks
Andrew

I haven't used CoolTips, but assuming it exposes the standard tooltip
functionality of Windows, different versions of Windows (with different
versions of IE) have different capabilities

This link describes the capabilities and the version of the common control
library required for those capabilities
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shel...
tform/CommCtls/ToolTip/UsingTooltips.asp

And this link lists the different versions of IE required to get those
control versions:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shel...
tform/Shell/Versions.asp

A standard Win95 doesn't support a lot of the capabilities of tooltips, so
installing/upgrading IE may help

Hi Chris,
thanks for the response. The machines in question have IE5 or better, which
according to the MS page you sent the link for should be more than good
enough to support the common control in question. Unfortunately there's no
support for the control.
Thanks anyway.
Andrew

I think that you need to install the dcom95.exe on this machine ...

Its already installed. Thanks anyway. I think there may be a bug in the dll
on win 95 machines relating to the animation property. I have commented out
the animation code but haven't tested it yet.
