Thanks. Its working fine now.

Thanks.Its worked :)

For the record, to the best of my knowledge the PFC does *not* have a reference to the ToolTipMsg API call.  There is an add on service for datawindow tooltips written by Philip Salagannik that does.  We incorporated it into our corporate extension layer and I believe we gave our source code to Appeon (or SAP back in the day) so that may be where Appeon had the impression that it's part of PFC.

My first recommendation to you, provided this is the same code we're talking about, is searching for of_settooltip(TRUE) in your application.  If you can't find that, then you're not using the service and instead of wasting time migrating something you're not using I would suggest stripping it out instead.

Support for tooltips in DataWindow columns was added as a native feature in PowerBuilder 11.5.  I can't see any reason why you would want to continue to use the add on service at this point anyway.

Hi Subrat;

  I added PowerTipText feature that you see natively in the DataWindow built-in to PB to all visual objects in the PB System Class in my STD Framework release 2022R1.   http://chrispollach.blogspot.com/2022/03/stdfc.html

   You can see how it's implemented in that framework release (or higher) in the source code. The framework is free & open source, so please grab any code that you need to implement this in your App (s). The nice thing about this implementation is that I did not use any SDK calls, so it works in either 32 or 64 bit mode. Plus, I have now tested this in PB2022R3 and even in the PB2025 pre-Alpha build that I used for my demo in Elevate 2023 conference. This approach all works great.  ;-)

    So this might be another option if you cannot get your approach to work. HTH

PS: Also, it's multilingual ready & requires no coding by the PB Programmer to use.  ;-)

For start, where you see an argument starting with h (hWnd) this probably is a handle, and yes it should be changed to longptr. MemHandle in LocalFree is also a handle (LocalFree function (winbase.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn). So it should be a longptr.

Hi Miguel,

Thanks for the response.

Please find the screenshot of the function. Do I need to change the long to longptr?

Please show us the declaration of your external funciton "ToolTipMsg". Most likely you'll have to change the hwnd parameter to be of type "longptr".

What's the definition of TOOLINFO? Is it a structure? Possibly some types have to change too.
