Tooltip Popups

Is it possible to have a little tooltip-like window in the corner of the screen to display the macro's status while it runs?

If so, how please?

EDIT: Oops, I just found this thread which will probably work for me.

The link above was useful. Thanks! Is there way to do tooltips in VBScript, and if so, how would I do so from MS?

I'm not sure if anyone noticed my second question. Is there way to do tooltips in VBScript, and if so, how would I do so from MS? Thanks!

I do not know of any way to create tooltips with VBScript. Tooltips are special windows, so I can't see how VBScript could create them. A Custom Dialog, with some Win32 API to remove the borders, and position in the right place is the only way I can think of doing this. The tricky part would be determining where to position the window.

Thanks for the info. Just curious was to which programming language is typically used to create tooltips.
