A balloon tip can be displayed, pointing to an edit control. The tip always points to the current cursor position within the control, and is dismissed by either clicking on it, by moving focus to a control other than the control the tip is assigned to, or by typing into the text box. Showing the tip automatically sets focus to the control at the last cursor position. A form can not show more than one tip at a time, and if the tip is repeatedly shown, the previous tip is destroyed first. Tips never get focus, and there is no message sent when the tip is dismissed. If the tip is not dismissed before the system timeout value for tool tips is reached, it automatically disappears leaving focus on the control.
