Is the ToolTipText Font fixed across country version character sets?
What is the ToolTipText Fontname for US?
Can we change the ToolTipText Font?    How?

The font is a system setting. To change in XP: Control 
Panel>Display>Appearance tab>Advanced button>select Tooltip in the Item 
Combo list.

No idea.  Doubtful.

Varies with OS.  Query SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, specifically the 
StatusFont member of the NONCLIENTMETRICS structure.  (Or see 
http://vb.mvps.org/samples/NCMetrics for a canned solution.)

Same trick, but with SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS.  That said, *don't*.

Oh well.
Just trying to make use of the full character set.
Wanted to use the bullet.
So I guess I will have to make my own tooltip.

Hi Bee:

You can use the bullet in the default Tool Tip Text.

To put anywhere in the ToolTipText, insert the bullet char by locating
your cursor at the position you want the bullet to appear and then
press Alt0149 and then release Alt key.

Actually you can insert any printable extended character using the
appropriate ASCII number with the Alt key.
