#Include <GuiToolTip.au3>

$sTitleTIP= "my red text"
ToolTip($sTitleTIP)
$hToolTip = WinGetHandle($sTitleTIP)
_GUIToolTip_SetTipTextColor($hToolTip, 0x0000ff) ; red text
_GUIToolTip_SetTipBkColor($hToolTip, 0xffffff) ; white background
Sleep(5000)

Of course. A small tooltip white background with red text is shown by 5 seconds (Just for test purposes).

Some error running?

I'm using Vista too. Right now, I tested in XP and works fine.

Oh yes...Themes issues. Currently, I'm not using using some theme under Vista.

If you try deactivating your theme, you could see the Tooltip correctly.

okay wait, what if i want the tool tip to show multiple things but i only want one of the things within the tool tip to be a different color like tooltip ("haha"& $var) but I want haha in black and var in blue?

ToolTip_UDF

[tomagucci]

dont know how to use the functions in association with tooltip, they dont seem to modify anything, i need it to be tooltip and not a guibutton or anything

Try to disable theme with

_GUIToolTip_SetWindowTheme($hToolTip, "")

[tomagucci]

i am testing it on windows classic theme. it works with the _guitooltip command but not with the tooltip udf
