	Stoyan I think we may be barking up the wrong tree. I've just created a new project. On the main form I added your flowchart component. I set .ShowToolTips=true. .ShowHints is set to false be default. In the form's FormShow event I added this... Code procedure TForm2.FormShow(Sender: TObject); var box : IBoxItem; begin box := fcx.CreateBox(10, 10, 50, 50); box.ToolTip := 'A multi-line' + chr(10) +'tooltip'; end; Run the code and the tooltip shows . Now, without doing anything else. I save the project and close it. I then immediately reopened the project and ran it. Guess what? No tooltips!!!!

	I don't know, there might be some randomness in what time the Delphi hint timer runs or something. It works consistently in our test after calling Application.CancelHint(). Btw. I've found some VCL source code folder, but searching for that method there didn't yield anything ??? Could you try what happens if you add the following lines to FormShow? Application.CancelHint(); fc.ShowToolTip := false; fc.ShowToolTip := true; Resetting the ShowToolTip value should create a new instance of the Win32 ToolTip control used by FlowchartX. Stoyan
