In fact, IMHO the functionality should be supported directly by the control, without you having to worry about gory details --although I am very thankful that you already did the job :-) Would you be happy with the following methods ? // set default tip (header, blank area) treeListCtrl->SetToolTip(const wxString &tip); // set tip for specific row treeListCtrl->SetToolTip(const wxTreeItemId& item, const wxString &tip); If so I would merge your code into the control and add these 2 public methods > This leads me to a final question: Why does wxTreeListCtrl have > public member functions GetHeaderWindow() and GetMainWindow()? > Since the classes they returned are only defined inside treelistctrl.cpp, > I don't see how they do me any good.

Ahum... maybe not everything in the class definition makes sense anymore, the control went through several hands... Ideally you should not have to access the underlying windows, i.e. those methods should not be public. Like you pointed out they are useless outside treelistctrl.cpp, so I will change them to protected. Thanks for the remark!
