Is there anyway of setting/changing a tooltip for a dialog object after
it is created using dialog set? I have tried many times but could
not find out how. Removing the object and adding it again with
the tooltip is not an option for what I am doing.

Thanks

That's a good question. I could never find the answer

If you are having to remove an element such as an EDIT box, you could always add the text to a list, remove the object, add it again, then set it to the text from the list.

BTW, I have always noticed that the tooltips had a space on the end of them, and they aren't quite normal as to the Windows style, for example, they don't fade in and out like the other ones do in Windows XP...

No, I have to change the color of a shape over and over and
want to set a new tooltip every time.

The only way I can think of is opening a new instance of your application and closing the old, sending the new tooltip via a command line parameter. following is an example I threw together that works.... this may not be very feasible for you, but it does seem to accomplish your goal.

Que I'm not aware if you know this but there is a DIALOG REMOVE command which can remove the control, you can then re-add it.
