Hi,

I want to display a tooltip with a mouse click and not just when the
mouse hovers over the control.

I have an application where some forms have many (say 100) UserControls on them (each of which contain a label, an image, and a data entry control), and each UserControl has a ToolTip provider (although really we don't assign ToolTips to most of the controls), and then the UserControl exposes a ToolTipText property which sets the same ToolTip for all 3 contained controls. It would be possible to have one ToolTip provider on the form...

I have implemented the ToolTip class for a user control that inheirits from the panel. I show different tool tips depending on where the mouse is on the control when the hover event occurs. However, if the mouse is moved to another part of the control, the tooltip doesn't show again until the user moves the mouse off the control then back on. How do I reset the tooltip to show again when the mouse moves within the panel to a different...

Hello everyone, I want to display a help text when in help mode in my application. Something like a tooltip. Now my application is a taskbar deskband and so not everything works what normally does. Second the WinXP machine is a PC with touchscreen so a tooltip doesn't work because it only appears on hover and not on click. And when pointing the mouse by touching the screen it's a click. The tooltip class is sealed so I can't even...

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'. Though the resultset fetches this column as well along with the above 3 columns, I am excluding the Description column from the DataList - the reason being most of the descriptions are pretty long &...

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....

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,...
