MDI Tooltip Problem

[Mitchell Vincent]

Using VB.NET 2003, I have a tooltip control on an MDI child window's
control. When I hover over it when the application is running the
tooltip appears behind the parent window (I can only tell because it is
long and pokes out the side!).

Also, is there a way to include line breaks for tooltips added at design
time?

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for your post!

#1, I did not see this issue before, can you provide a sample project to
help us reproduce this problem on our side for better understanding?

#2, Yes, normally windows will interpret '\n' character as link-break,
however, VS.net PropertyBrowser will place a second '\' infront of any '\'
we input, so if we input "this is \n a test" in PropertyBrowser, we will
get "this is\\n a test" in the generated code snippet. Regarding this
issue, we have to set the '\n' character manually in code file. Like this:
this.toolTip1.SetToolTip(this, "this is\n a test");

Hope this helps!
