Tooltip in VS2005 controls

Pakmarshal

Hello Everyone,
While working with list view control in VB 2005, I observed a behavior that the tooltip for the control is not consistent i.e. if we closely observe that when the tooltip displays then one can find that some time when you move the cursor in the control, tooltip won’t be displayed.
For further investigation I tried to observe the behavior of other such controls e.g. Treeview, listbox and textbox (Multiline). I have observed the more or less same behavior in those controls as well.
The major reason that I have noticed the issue is because my requirement is that the tooltip should be displayed to the user only once while he is on the control i.e. to display the tooltip again, user have to move the cursor to any other control and then re-enter the mouse pointer again.
Does any of you guys observed the same behavior and what could be the remedy of this.

Regards,
Haroon.

The classes I am using are located at http://www.lebans.com/DownloadFiles/A2kTooltip.zip So far the classes work perfectly, except that now I need to extend it to support other controls besides the ones given in the example form. I have gotten it to work with some controls, but not others. I...

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 have an application where some forms have many (say 100) UserControls on them (each of which contain a label, an image, and a data entry control), and each UserControl has a ToolTip provider (although really we don't assign ToolTips to most of the controls), and then the UserControl exposes a ToolTipText property which sets the same ToolTip for all 3 contained controls. It would be possible to have one ToolTip provider on the form...

A DataList displays 3 columns - Product, Category & Price. These columns are populated with records from a SQL Server 2005 DB table. Apart from the above 3 DB columns that the resultset retrieves, there is another DB column named 'Description'. Though the resultset fetches this column as well along with the above 3 columns, I am excluding the Description column from the DataList - the reason being most of the descriptions are pretty long &...

Hello, I'm using the ToolTip control, but I want it to behave a bit different. I want the toolTip to popup not only once when the control is enter and the mouse is stationary. I want the toolTip to popup every time the mouse is stationary over the control without the mouse leaving and entering the control again. How can I do that? Even by overriding the ToolTip class?
