ErrorProvider in .Net 2003

How do I capture the hover event on the ErrorProvider control?

I created a custom control and inherited the ErrorProvider. Problem is
I don't know which method to override to capture the hover event. I
want to popup a custom form instead of the default tooltip.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Christian

Hello Freeon,

Take a look at the ErrorProvider in both the help docs and the object browser,
then come back and ask an intelligent question.

GhostInAK, that is extremely poor form.

My question very obviously states I can not find where the event
capture point is, that includes the documentation in both of those
sources.

In the future when your have nothing to contribute please do not post
nonsense.

------------------------
Now for those without the flamethrower on extra crispy... There does
not appear to be any events triggered that we can override to customize
the ErrorProvider message.

Best bet is to write your own Component that emulates the ErrorProvider.

Hello Freeon,

Poor form my ass. Poor form is asking an assinine question and then trying
to make out like you didn't.

Your original post states:

Well.. if you had bothered to read the docs or look in the object browser,
you would have noticed that there is NO hover event or overridable method
that will allow you to do this. So I stand by my original prescription:
Read, then ask intelligent questions.

GhostInAK, Since your unclear about my question and want to fight about
it, I'll give you the high-level objective I'm trying to solve. I'm
sure you'll be able to understand this one.

How can I make the ErrorProvider ToolTip stay up indefinitely? Also
how can I enhance the ToolTip add an expandable section for more
information?

Now Ghost don't stray from your anal standard of exact explanation.
Show me some code.

I am using an errorprovider and a datagrid component on a form. I use the errorprovider to display error hints in the grid, in the case the entered data by the user is checked and not found Ok. After the data is corrected, the hint does not disappear ! (the exclamation mark however, does disappear). For Microsoft: If I'm correct, and it is a bug, can it be corrected ?

I read the following - regarding the ErrorProvider control - in the MOC Course Material for course 2373: "You can set your own error messages manually, as shown in the following example, or when working with bound data, you set the DataSource propertyof the ErrorProvider to automatically pick error messages up from thedatabase." So, basically I want the ErrorProvider to automatically pick up database errors, but have so far had no...

I'm having problems using the errorprovider in VB.NET to automatically display an error icon next to textboxes bound to the same dataset as the errorprovider. The sequence of events is : Build a dataset containing a single table. Bind the textboxes on a windows form to the datatable. Bind the errorprovider control to the same datatable. Use SetColumnError to create an error condition in the datatable.

I have the following issues: 1. I want to make it so that ToolTips never go away once they are shown until the user moves the mouse outside of the control for which the ToolTip is assigned. It seems to me that setting the ToolTip.AutoPopDelay to a large value (e.g., Int32.MaxValue) should acomplish this goal, but it does not. 2. I want to make it so that the ErrorProvider message is always displayed when the mouse is over the...
