hi, i'm going to write a program that can get text from anywhere in windows xp by using mouse pointer. in other words, when you point your mouse pointer to a text (eg. text on win xp icon) and my program can get the text of it.

2nd problem: how to display a tooltip baloon on my mouse pointer?

2nd problem: how to display a tooltip baloon on my mouse pointer?Take a look at the 'other controls' (http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/controls/controls/) section on CodeGuru. There are tool tip articles there.
