Reinventing the wheel

How to change from mouseover to mousedown using the infotip?
Or
How to put ActiveX infoTip to Form?

Here are sample code, that I applied to mix, but I'm lost.

This is also the code that I updated, but I failed to fix it.

====================================

lets continue our PM conversation here:

so what you say is that in
function TInfoTip.Load(pszFileName: POleStr; dwMode: Integer): HResult;
the parameter pszFileName does not contain the path, only the filename?

also you have a bug. in
function TInfoTip.GetCurFile(out pszFileName: POleStr): HResult; export;
you need to change the parameters amongs them. it must be
WideCharToStrVar(finfo, pszFileName);

Thank you Sir

Actually the code runs fine,  InfoTip can get the path and filename.

function TInfoTip.Load(pszFileName: POleStr; dwMode: Integer): HResult;
begin
WideCharToStrVar(pszFileName, fName);
Result := S_OK;
end;

function TInfoTip.GetInfoTip(dwFlags: DWORD; var ppwszTip: PWideChar): HResult;
begin
ppwszTip := StringToOleStr('The infotip3 for: ' + #13 + fName);
Result := S_OK;
end;

//fName RETURNS the path and the filename.

For my question1:
What I'm asking for the infoTip display [if mousedown] was press and not the mouseover, that if is possible.   But if that is impossible,   how about displaying the infoTip on a Delphi form.

>>does not contain the path, only the filename?
That is about my other post that I deleted(the question2), and I hope you have the copy.   The function selectedfilename only gets the filename anywhere inside desktop windows explorer,  but does not include the path.

This is the output of the project I made:

Please see it Sir,  to understand this issue
Sorry for the mix questions.

I am not executing any compiled binaries on my PC that come sfrom untrusted sources. dont' take this personally, but you're not exactly a trusted source :P
so either post the code and I'll compile or...
and no, I don't have any copy of the code.

regarding click instead of mouseover, I can't say. what about trying it?

Hello Sir Ciuly

I hope you can add it with the path of the filename selected.

Regarding to change infoTip from mousedown to mouseover (my first choice), and hoping you can find a way using your creative ideas.

Cheers!

Ops!
It's mouseover to mousedown
