mouse over

What are the yellowish popups that appear when you mouse over certain
objects. An example are the descriptions that appear in VS2005 when
hover your mouse over controls in the toolbox. I'd like to implement
these on a mouse over of a picture box. I couldn't find anything
looking through previous posts. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What you want is the ToolTip extender control.

Its called a tooltip:

PictureBox box = ...;

// add a member to your class
System.WinForms .ToolTip toolTip = new System.WinForms .ToolTip();

// init tooltip, e.g in the ctor:
toolTip.AutoPop Delay = 5000;
toolTip.Initial Delay = 1000;
toolTip.ReshowD elay = 500;
toolTip.ShowAlw ays = true;

toolTip.SetTool Tip(box, "This is a PictureBox");

Hi all, I'm working on an educational applet for a child with special needs. He's got a bit of a trick to make my life more difficult... To interact with the applet he needs to click on buttons, which is fine most of the time (he comes from a Mac environment, so I accept mouse clicks from the right or left button when he's working on the PC). But every once in a while, he'll press and hold the right mouse button, move onto a JButton,...

Hi, I've been given the task of mantaining and fixing a website which I didn't design. I'm using Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.x. Specifically, the problem is that navigation menues (written in javascript) don't disappear when the mouse moves outside of the area of the menues (some of the menues are nested two and three levels). As long as the mouse cursor remains *within* the options of the menues, the option under the mouse cursor is...

I need to be able to detect mouse movement even when it is not over my application. I can get the mouse cords using MousePosition but I am not sure if there is an event that hits my program when the mouse is not over my program. One idea i had was make a child form that was transparent and use the MouseMove event to keep that transparent window under the mouse but the transparent window did not catch the MouseMove event. I also tried...

Hi, Is there any kind of mouse over type method in C#, that will change the mouse to a different pointer when the mouse is over a picture box. The reason i as is that i am intending to use a picture instead of a button to move to another form and its not obvious, without writing on the user interface, what to do. I thought a change in mouse pointer might help. Thanks Rudiga

This is a curious problem. It seems like it should be quite easy. Of course a timer is used to determine when form should be closed, but how do you consistently reset the timer when the mouse is moved over the form. Normally I would use the MouseMove event to know when the mouse moves over the form and use that to reset the timer. However, this fails on a form that has a large number of controls of the form. The Form.MouseMove event...

In the following script, a control displays (black box) in each table cell once you mouse over the cell. Mouse down on the control to change the mode of the table.

It's important that I stop these "false" mouseup's from firing or distinguish them from when I let go of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
