I need to support popup windows like I see in a treeview when I cannot
see the entire line. Does the Win32 api already have this support for
XP? or do I have to write my own? I notice that some of them have
gradient support.

Also, what is that control called? I am sure I it's not called a popup.

Those are called hint windows.

Yes. The VCL has a THintWindow class that you can use to display your own
arbitrary hint messages anywhere on the screen.

I use CPPBuilder V5.0 but I don't use VCL. That's why I posted the
question here and not in the VCL forum. I will look at the VCL source
code and see if I can convert it to plain C. Thank you for the help.
