If so, does this "looking" occur before or after MenuHook is called? Obviously, I am trying to "coerce" the Help Manager to display a balloon not associated with the actual menuitem the cursor is over. (I do have a valid reason for doing this; I'm not making any virus to really confuse new 7.0 users!!!) If, of course, I'm barking up the wrong tree please let me know (and if you know I'm barking up the wrong tree, you probably know which tree I should be barking up and may want to tell me so...) Thanks... 'The Tweaker'
