Tooltip Falls Behind App

Hi All,

Using VS2003.

I am seeing a problem with using ToolTips.

I am using a tree control, which has a tool tip defined for each node. I
wrap this control inside another, and then place this on a Windows Form app.

The problem I'm having is that the ToolTips are being shown behind the
Windows app. If needed, I can put a screenshot somewhere, but bascially, you
can see the tooltip (if large enough) outside the borders of the app, but not
over the control.

Is this a known issue, and/or does anybody have a workaround?

Thanks,
pagates

does anybody have a workaround?
I've noticed that this problem does not happen if the ToolTip is created after the window has been displayed. Therefore I create the ToolTip after the initial display. Paint is a convenient event to do this.

In the constructor, eg:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. this.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(OnPaint);
In OnPaint:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. this.Paint -= new PaintEventHandler(OnPaint); // once is enough
  2. myToolTip  = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip(this.components);
  3. // now do whatever you like with the ToolTip

Hi, I am having difficulties to render a tooltip in Internet Explorer 6. It keeps hiding behind a relative positioned DIV. It renders fine in Firefox.

I am using a series of checkbox's in a repeater -- (not the checkboxlist) -- the problem I am encountering is that the checkbox does not have a value attribute.

I want to show a tooltip over one of my WinForm controls at startup. The control is part of a UserControl that I'm hosting in a CAP DeckWorkspace.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
