tooltip property

[dpan]

Ok this is silly I know but I can't find it on any control. Where did tooltip property go? I'm using vb 2005.

there is no tooplip property on windows controls (only web controls) you will hve to use tooltip object from toolbox and attach it to the control (i think this is also in vs2005, i'm using vs2003)

 

[JuggaloBrotha]

there are tooltip properties for windows controls (actually you can have up to 255 of them i think)

all you've got to do is add a tooltip control to your form, then set the tooltip property on your textbox's, label's, button's.

statusbars on windows forms already have activated tooltip properties with and without the control being on the form


this is for vb2003 and higher, i dont know about vb2002

just use tooltip control and write

tooltip1.settooltip(textbox1,"i have a textbox")

so...

yourtooltip.settooltip(YourControl,"YourText")

?

 

[JuggaloBrotha]

yup

and you can do it in the designer too, by selecting the control on the form then typing the tooltip text into the tooltip property of the control
