Multiple tooltip objects.

[runningdog]

Hi,

I have created a number of Windows Forms Controls that require tooltips. If
I add a tooltip object to each of my controls will this create any
resource/performance issues that I should be concerned with.

Would it be better to bind to a single tooltip object when the control is
consumed by an application?

Thanks Steve

Hello Steve,

Thanks for your post. I revewed your description carefully, and now I'd
like to share the following information with you:

Generally speaking, creating/using one tooltip object does not cause much
resource/performance issues. However, I still recommend you create an
instance of the ToolTip class and associate it with the container of your
controls say, a WinForm. Because, it can SetToolTip to your controls as
well as other controls on the Form, you can also set different ToolTip text
for each of your user control.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.

Have a nice day!

Thanks Tian

I have taken your advise and will bind my "user controls" to a single
tooltip.
