It also allows you to specify the Maximum Width of the tooltip, the delay until it appears, the length of time it is visible and whether the tooltip is centered below the control. I have added support for setting the font that is used as well.

It uses basic laws of physics such as adding the effects of wind and gravity in. Please check out and rate. Oh, it also might work for other Visual Basics, I've just only tried it on Visual Basic 6. Give me feedback as well as ratings to please, that'd be very much appreciated, thanx.

There is a API function in WinNT based systems - BeepAPI function. You can create sounds of any frequency and for duration by using that function. But the BeepAPI function in Win98 is very limited. It can't do it. So, I made this class in assembly that can do the same work in Win98 also. I haven't tested this code in other machines. But it should work. Please, report to me if it doesn't work. Comments and votes are welcome.
