Can anyone help with my BalloonToolTips class? It works in Excel 32-bit (W7 and W10) but not in Windows 10 Excel 64-bit, even though it compiles without errors.
It's old VB6 code that I've adapted for VBA (VBA only exposes hWnds for Frames and Listboxes).
So I put any controls other than the above that require a multiline "ControlTipText" in a caption-less Frame with the Userform's bordercolor and I put the control's ControlTipText in that of the Frame.
It's the only way I've found to provide multiline tooltips for such controls.

But they just don't show in Excel 64-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jaafar, it now works identically on all 3 platforms (W7, W10XL32 and W10XL64), with or without icon/title, multiliners and position OK too.

Glad this worked for you in the end and thanks for the feedback.

I have updated all of the previous workbook examples.

Below is the final revised class code for future reference in case the workbook example links are broken.

Glad this worked for you in the end and thanks for the feedback.

Jaafar, me again. I've now added your class to my main application, which I can't really post here (.xlsb or .xlsm, 2 huge worksheets, respectively abot 110,000 and 90,000 rows, which is why I can't save it as an .xls. The .xlsb file size is about 11MB, it's a bilingual dictionary with 15 standard modules and 8 userforms).

CreateToolTip now doesn't work, no error, but FindWindow("tooltips_class32", "MyToolTip") always returns a value greater than zero.

So I've tried modifying the Findwindow part of the code as follows:

VBA Code: 
Private Sub CreateToolTip()
    '.....
    Dim FW As LongPtr
    FW = FindWindow("tooltips_class32", "MyToolTip")
    Debug.Print FW ' always > 0 in the xlsb and the xlsm, on all 3 platforms!
                                  'If FindWindow("tooltips_class32", "MyToolTip") = 0 Then
    If FindWindow("tooltips_class32", "MyToolTip") <> 0 Then
        If hToolTip = 0 Then 'I've also tried hToolTip <> 0, no difference
            With tIccex
               '...

And this is true on all my 3 platforms, so I don't think it's a 32/64-bit issue.
I don't want to mess around any more with your code.
The only thing I can think of is that it's a workbook with 2 or more userforms (I've only tested 2 so far), because your workbook only has one.

Any ideas?
What exactly are "tooltips_class32" and "MyToolTip"?

It is not a 32/64bit issue as you said. It is because the code was initially conceived for a single userform.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to modify the class code to make it work for multiple userforms if we pass the userform handle as a unique ID for the tooltip.

EDITED: I will post the code and workbook example in the next post.

Thanks, that's great. If you're interested, here's how I'm integrating it into my large application (see link below) .
My ControlTipText pre-processing code in UserForm1 and standard module Support_CToolTip, your code in UserForm2.

You have decided to store the tooltip data in the ControlTipText or Tag Properties after having encoded it in what looks like html encoded strings. IMHO, I think this would only add complexity and more work to the user when setting up the attributes of the CToolTip Class.

Also, testing your workbook, I noticed that the color of the frame around the tooltips with the TTS_BALLOON style do not display correctly (shows mixed colors) ... I have slightly amended the class code to fix this issue.

Here is your workbook with the fixed\revised code:

Thanks for that. Re: my pseudo-html encoded variables, they are all optional (I just added them for the sake of completeness), and 95% of the tooltips in my large application are the same in style, so for me it saves a lot of time (and coding space in several userforms), all the more so as a couple of my tooltips can change depending on user preferences (e.g. the tooltip for my main Exit button leaves workbook open OR closes workbook and Excel OR closes workbook but leaves Excel open), so I can only handle them through code on start-up, updating ControlTipText with GetSetting.
I agree it may seem complex, but I've been doing something similar in VB6 for many years, so I'm comfortable with it.
It's a very personal solution for an unusually large Excel application.

Anyway, thanks for the balloon frame color fix.

I've just tested your latest revision, there are problems on my oldest platform (W7 Excel 32-bit), see image.
