I believe the answer is yes. Current help system does that.

A small example...

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
using namespace Upp;

class ToolTipEx : public TopWindow {
	ToolTip tip;
public:
	ToolTipEx()
	{
		tip.Set("\1Hello [*@3 World]");
	}
	void LeftDown(Point p, dword keyflags)
	{
		if(!tip.IsOpen())
			tip.PopUp(this, p, true);
		else
			tip.Close();
	}
};

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	ToolTipEx().Run();
}

if the string start with \1 then it is qtf formated... read more about qtf.

oh, i see... didn't know there is a class called ToolTip...

But i want a tooltip for a button, appearing not on a mouseclick, but when the user stays with the mouse over the button...
i have found, i can do:

Button bt;
bt.Tip ("Tooltip text");

This works for normal text, but not for QTF formatted text...

Is there a way to achieve this?

It does works, but you have to put the '\1' at the beginning to tell it to use QTF:

btn.Tip("\1[@R This works!]")
