ToolTip

I've succeeded in creating multi-line ToolTips in code:

ttAllToolTips.S etToolTip(this. btnNextTaskSet , "Retrieve the next\n" +
Convert.ToStrin g(TaskRecords) + " task records.");

But I'm wondering if this can be done through the properties window. Anyone
know how?

hi,

i'm not at my developing pc at the moment but i think this is right:

when you are typing in the tooltip box, a dropdown arrow should appear.
click this and a big yellow multiline box will appear. type in the tooltip
text and your done

i hope this works!

Thanks for writing back. I'm sorry I didn't notice it until just now.
Can't figure out how either.

Anyway, mine doesn't work this way -- no dropdown arrow ever appears.

Hi, I'm currently writing an application (in VS 2005 bèta 2) and made some own user controls. In each user control I added a ToolTip object so i can set some tooltips on checkboxes etc. What I wanted to do is to add a ToolTip object on the starting form, and pass this ToolTip object to the user controls. In each user control I created a property ToolTip with only a setter which accepts the passed ToolTip.

Hello, I have written a Custom Control which inherits from ToolTip and it is an OwnerDraw tooltip. In the Popup event I calculate the size of the tooltip I need to display (rather large tooltip) and resize it using the ToolTipSize property. In the Draw event, I draw my tooltip.

A DataList displays 3 columns - Product, Category & Price. These columns are populated with records from a SQL Server 2005 DB table. Apart from the above 3 DB columns that the resultset retrieves, there is another DB column named 'Description'.

I use Visual Studio 2005 and created a very simple Form with one button. I added a Tooltip for that button. It shows fine the first time I hover over that button. But if I let it disappear by the maximum time it should be displayed, it never shows again over that button. Is that intended? And what can I do to make it show again?

I have to take this personally now. Tooltips have been flakey since the dawn of .NET, but to still have to put up with a disappearing tooltip in VS 2008 is getting beyond a joke. Tooltips have always done this, so isn't it about time they were fixed? I have a tooltip that I assign to a button control on my form. I hover over the button and up pops the tooltip. I move away and the tooltp fades. I hover again, and back comes the tooltip....
