C++ - Custom Tooltip

Custom tool tip C++ class implements multiline and multicolor tool tip, which can be used to present different information, in several lines, using various colors:

CPP and H file can be reviewed and downloaded from following locations: source and header. The class is MFC dependent. Use of the class is simple:

void CCustomChartControl::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
  COLORREF color1, color2, color3;
  CString strText1(_T("")), strText2(_T("")), strText3(_T(""));

  // initialize colors and texts
  // ...

  if (m_pWndToolTip == NULL)
  {
     m_pWndToolTip = new CCustomToolTip();
   
     if (!m_pWndToolTip->Create(this))
     {
         TRACE(_T("Couldn't create tool tip window!"));    
     }
     else
     {
         m_pWndToolTip->ShowToolTip(TRUE);
     }
  }

  if (m_pWndToolTip != NULL)
  {        
     m_pWndToolTip->UpdateText(strText1, strText2, strText3,
         true, true, true,
         true, true, true,
         color1, color2, color3,
         point);   
  }
}

In method CCustomToolTip::UpdateText you can set texts with three different colors and visibility types (visible/not visible).
