Hi Everyone:

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on a problem we are having with Developer 2000.

We are developing a large, Forms 4.5 based application.

Each form has a MDI toolbar (iconic buttons), and some forms have iconic buttons on them also.

Whenever we try to put any type of "bubble hint" for the iconic buttons, we gen constant General Protection Faults (Under Windows 3.11 and Win NT).

We tried SHOWHINT.DLL, with floating bubble help... We tried adding a display item on the toolbar to show the hint text... We tried displayinh the hint text on the message line...

In every case, we trigger the hint display via a WHEN-MOUSE-ENTER trigger and remove the help via a WHEN-MOUSE-LEAVE trigger.

The WHEN-MOUSE-ENTER trigger does the following...

  1. Identify the item
  2. Get it's Label
  3. Display the label

Nothing tricky, no timers, etc.

The result is constant, intermittant GPFs.

Any Ideas ?

Thanks
