Help with tooltips on ToolStrip

I'm trying to use a ToolStrip but I want to use a table layout to do a 2
column strip. The table layout disables the overflow features you get with
the other layout engines. I have two problems. First is I can't get my
ToolStripSepara tors to to be horizonal in this layout and I can figure out
how to make them span 2 columns. Though If I could get it to be horizontal
this may not be a problem.

Second is I can't find any examples online for faking the over flow. I've
tried by putting a dropdown at the end of the ToolStrip and when the Layout
Completes adding items where Placement != Main to the drop down but I can't
seem to get it to work. Thoughts?

Thanks

Hi, I've set up a helpsystem for my application using html help 1.x and the dotnet HelpProvider object. It's annoying that that you have to fill in the tooltips yourself (for providing help on certain controls...). I would like my list of tooltips centered in one place (the already used help .chm file --> I was thinking of including a .html file with a list of key/value pairs) and extract the strings to my application tooltips at

I'm migrating/rewriting one of my VB6 apps to VB2005. In the process, I'm trying to avoid using third party activex controls used in the VB6 project. One of the third party controls in the VB6 app was for menu/toolbars. This control had an option to render the toolbar in an Office 2003 style which is nothing more than a top to bottom gradient. When a new ToolStrip is added to a form, the default appearance of the Toolstrip is that of...

Hi all, I'm using the ToolStrip in .NET 2.0, and I can't seem to find a way to change the size of it. What I want is a toolbar the size of the IE toolbar, preferably with text below images if possible. Can anyone shed any light on how to do this? Thanks, Alex Clark

Newbie alert! VB 2005 Express. One MDIParent form and one regular Form. The MDIParent has the standard ToolStrip. The MDI Child Form has its own ToolStrip that is to be merged onto the MDIParent's ToolStrip. Sounds simple, right? I've gone through quite a few URLs that all pretty much say the same thing but I have yet to get this completely working. (Most of those URLs also seem to wander away from ToolStrip and instead go down the...

I'm writing an appbar and can't get the tooltips to work in the toolstrip buttons. I've got the properties set as per MSDN instructions but no go. Do appbars have issues with tooltips? I've experienced quite a few problems as I've been writing this and always wonder how much is related to the API calls I had to use to setup the appbar bahaviour in the first place. Any thoughts welcome. -- ______ ___ __ /_ __/_ __/...

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...

The ToolStrip on top of my form is to small. I want to increase its height. Simply setting the Height-property doesn't change the height, though. So I tried to place the ToolStrip in a ToolStripPanel, that does react to changes in its Height-property, and by setting the Dock-property of the contained ToolStrip to DockStyle.Fill, I expected the ToolStrip to fill the entire ToolStripPanel. Nope. See the code below, it is ready to run.

It's kind of hard to explain (so if you need more just ask) and any help would be greatly appreciated. I am writing a side-by-side file manager. On each side I have a DropDownButton that holds either the root name or the Favorite name for the current path. I also have a DropDownComboBox that has the current full path as well as a series of paths that lead back to the root (i.e. "C;\Program Files\Microsoft Office", "C:\Program Files", "C:...

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,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
