tooltips tab text

[bfsog]

Lets say I have three tabs, their text is "google", "yahoo", "msn"

when the user hovers over google, the text google is shown in tooltip, also with the other 2 show their correct text.

But if they are in the yahoo tab, but not on the tab text, can i not make the tooltip show?

So only show the tooltip over the tab text?

very confusing ... do you want to avoid displaying of tooltip for certain tab ... ?

Kind regards

Sorry, its hard to explain. Take a look at http://bfsog.co.uk/imgupload/uploads/tabs.jpg

If I hovered over the tab "Delete By Username" Or "Delete By ID" the tooltiptext is "Delete By Username" or "Delete By ID" depending on what tab.

But, lets say they are on the default (first tab which is delete by id).

On that tab, if the user puts the mouse somewhere on that tab, but not on the tab text, the tooltip is not displayed.

So, only display the tooltip if the mouse is over the tabs tab, not the tabs content?

note that you need to refer to tabcontrol not tabpage ...

Thanks kulrom. However, (im referring to the link i gave up ^) If I am on the "delete by id" tab, and i mousehover over anywhere on that tab, the tooltip is shown.

Is it not possible? No biggy anyway, but I just thought the tab could have its own tooltip

 

[kulrom]

but the code above does exactely what you need ... displaying tooltip only if you mousehover tab title of particulary tabPage ... Cheers
