ToolTip

Experienced posters,

I am trying to owner draw a tooltip. But I notice that alot of the basic
controls don't have a tooltiptext property. Is this property one that is
similarly given to a control when the ErrorProvider is used?

My goal is to draw a image along with the text in the tooltip for labels,
pictureboxes and such. Not sure if I need to do hoover, enter or exit for
mouse events. Or can I just override/inherit from tooltip objects.

I am new to this area, so thanks for assistance.

Chris,

I thought you can add to all controls the tooltip.

See this not to much threads about messages from balloontooltips in this
newsgroups, I think that that can give you good ideas, because most where
very usefull answers.

I hope this helps?

Yes, it's an extender control.

Hi, I'm currently writing an application (in VS 2005 bèta 2) and made some own user controls. In each user control I added a ToolTip object so i can set some tooltips on checkboxes etc. What I wanted to do is to add a ToolTip object on the starting form, and pass this ToolTip object to the user controls. In each user control I created a property ToolTip with only a setter which accepts the passed ToolTip.

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,...
