I'm searching the internet whole day now looking for a way to add tooltips to some of my dialog's but i can only find mTooltips.dll

I also noticed mirc itself uses some tooltips sometimes so was wondering how it's done and can it be used for personal use?

I noticed MDX.DLL in scripts\dll folder, is that the dll mirc itself uses?
Are there other methods getting tooltips in your own script apart from third party dll's?

MDX is not used by mIRC itself and is not included with any official installation of mIRC.

The only way to add tooltips to dialogs is with a DLL such as mTooltips. I believe DCX also has tooltips.

Mmm then i wonder where MDX is coming from.

If mTooltips.dll is the only option then i'll stick to that.

Would have been nice to have it build in mIRC.

I thought it was because of change log

1.Fixed tooltips bug in toolbar.

After reading that i was under the impression i could use it in scripts also that's why i asked.

Can MDX be used for tooltips also then?
I believe it came with that addon i have installed (nnscript) and if MDX is capable to do tooltips then i don't need another dll :P

Look through the help for that DLL. I don't remember what MDX can do. I haven't used MDX in a long time... DCX has much more to offer, imo.
