Unwanted multiple Tooltips displaying over control.

VB.net help file provided the following excerpt for the SetToolTip method:

**********
Remarks
In addition to specifying the ToolTip text to display for a control, you can
also use this method to modify the ToolTip text for a control. Calling the
SetToolTip method more than once for a given control does not specify
multiple ToolTip text to display for a control but instead changes the
current ToolTip text for the control. To determine the ToolTip text that is
associated with a control at run time, you can use the GetToolTip method.
**********

When I use this method to change the tooltip. I works as expected the first
time the mouse hovers over the control (a button). When I remove the mouse
and then re-hover over the control, I get multiple tooltips. The first one
pops up, then the second, then the third, etc...
Any ideas? I have looked long and hard but cannot seem to resolve this. I
hope there is something I have overlooked.
Thanks in advance.

I've made tooltips work in Firefox*, but tooltip doesn't appear at the specified location until the SECOND time that the user passes the mouse over the location with the mouseover event. What I want is for the user to be able to put the mouse over text that gives a year (e.g., "(1932)", "(1946)" and "(1923)") and see the tooltip to the right and slightly beneath the year. (For the record -- this needn't concern the debugging effort --...

Hi All, Does anyone know if and how can someone add tooltips for controls contained in an UserControl ? I see that even if the control has this property, it is not working. The usercontrol is somehow blocking the appearence of the tooltip. And, is there any way I can show the tooltip, even if the control is disabled?

I am using the AxWebBrowser control to display a simple HTML page on a windows form. I want to display tooltips using the title attribute for the hrefs. The tooltips work fine when the HTML is displayed in IE and FireFox, but they don't work at all inside the AXWebBrowser. Does anyone know if tooltips are not supported, or is there a property on the control that needs to be set? Or maybe something else I am overlooking? Any help is...

Hi, Trying to debug an ASP.NET v1.1 site where ToolTips are not displaying on <asp:DropDownList> controls. Since this isn't a built-in property of these controls, I did a Google search and the suggested method seems to be to add a title="<ToolTip goes here>" tag to the <asp:DropDownList> declaration. This is what my client is trying to do. However, it's not working i.e. the ToolTip doesn't display when users hover over the...

Hello, I am using the new TreeView in ASP.Net 2.0. I am using its PopulateOnDemand feature. The problem is that the treeviews +/- images, and any checkboxes, have the tooltip set. If the node contains HTML, then the tooltip shows the raw HTML, which is unacceptable to users. Is there any way to block the tooltips from displaying this HTML?

I have an issue where I have a user control that is launched into a floating form. At some point later, I allow the user to "unfloat" the user control by reparenting it on a split container in another form. Problem is if I wake a tooltip when the window is floated, and then try the same thing when it is reparented, the app crashes with " Cannot access a disposed object.Object name: 'Form'. Presumably, this is a result of the tooltips...

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,...
