Environment: Visual Basic 2005, Windows XPI have the below data grid, I am using. I am trying to show tooltips, when I hover over the "Status" column. Red => MissingGreen => AvailableThe "Status" column is of type: DataGridViewImageColumn. The Images are inserted from "My.resources" I have tried to accomplish it using the below code, but it is not working and believe there might be a better way.

I've got a ToolTip showing when hovering over a row in my DataGridView - Works great except for the ToolTip flickering when over a row that displays it.
[Code]...
Is there a way to have one specific row in a DataGridView have a tooltip? So when the user put there mouse over the row, anywhere on the row, the Tooltip would PopUP?Would like to be able to do it at runtime?
View 11 RepliesI got a datagrid with lengthier columns and it displays tool tip which is also very lengthier which makes users tough to read data. Is there a way to have multiline Tooltip to get rid of this problem.
View 2 RepliesI have a dataGridView that I programatically create where I want to set the toolTipText differently for each row by setting the toolTipText in the first column/cell of each row. I know I can do that by doing the following:
myDataGridView.Rows(n).Cells(0).ToolTipText = varContainingText
This works fine. However, it only displays for the default period of time (5 seconds I believe). I'd like to set the autoPopDelay but can't seem to figure out how. I can't seem to do something like:
myDataGridView.Rows(n).Cells(0).autoPopDelay = 10000
This is not a valid reference. How do I set the autoPopDelay for this?
I have an unbound data grid view. Every cell that has text will display ToolTipText for that value. I'd like certain cells to have no ToolTip and others to have a ToolTip that provides instruction on what the "X" button is for rather than just having "X" display. If anything, for this particular cell, I'd probably rather have no ToolTip. I've tried setting the ToolTip.Text ="" for the cell immediately after creating the row. On other cells, if I change the underlying text value, I try altering the displayed tip text, but only get the text value for that cell.
How can I remove/modify unwanted ToolTips in my DataGridView?
I have a datagridview that displays text from a cell in a tooltip when text is too long to be viewed in the cell itself. The default length of time, however, is not long enough for me to read all of it.
How can I make the tooltip display for a longer period of time?
I'm aware that the tooltip object can contain an image. I am unable to make an image popup when the mouse hovers over a datagridview cell, since it is not possible to attach a tooltip object to a cell ( myTip.SetToolTip(gridCell, "Hello") generates a compile error)

View 1 RepliesI am trying to trigger a tool tip when a user enters a cell in a DataGridView and starts editing it. The idea being that I want the user to know to hit the Return key after they are finished typing in a string in the cell. I only want the tool tip to show when the user is editing a cell in columindex 1.
The following below does note seem to be working.

View 1 RepliesI have a gridview where ALL cells have a value that is an image from the filesystem, but I need to access these files for a certain function and so I've been trying to create a method that disposes of all these images thereby freeing them up on the filesystem (was received permission denied errors). The following loop worked for the first row of images but I can't work out how to do it for all rows:
or Each c As DataGridViewImageColumn In dGV.Columns
c.Image.Dispose()

I would like to make my 'Image File Path' column in my datatable set to a 'DataGridViewImageColumn'. I would then like each of the rows in this column to display a image. The image value would be populated from the 'image file path' contained in that cell of the datatable. At the moment i cannot get this to work no matter how many times i try it. At best it just shows the same image in every row and in the wrong column. As the table is populated 'dynamically' when a search is performed this is proving very hard. Below is an image showing the table and what results i am currently getting:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
dt.Clear()

Is it possible to set IF case using the images present in the datagridviewimagecolumn?
Example:
If current row image = "Red.png"... show error msg
If current row image = "Green.png"... Insert to database
I have a DataGridViewImageColumn with an image in it I would like to make the only area to perform a function of mine when I click it. I can click the row and get it to work but can't seem to only make just the imagecloumn the clickable region.
So as an example I have
Private Sub dgrdStatus_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgrdStatus.CellClick
MessageBox.Show("You chose " & dgrdStatus.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("columnCustomerName").Value)
Works for the whole row, my issue is I only want to be able to click the imagecolumn to do this. Guessing I am missing the right item similar to dgrdStatus_CellClick but can't quite pinpoint the fix.

View 2 RepliesI have two vb2008 programs with tooltips and on one of the programs, the tooltips re-appear after timeout without having to go to another tooltip and on the other program, after timeout, the tooltip will not re-appear without going to another tooltip. I can't find any differences in the tooltip setup that would cause this to be so. I have seen a couple of posts that are close to this, but it appears that they have just given up and did a work around. Does anyone have an idea or a solution?

View 3 RepliesUsing VB.NET 2008 desktop project, I created a simple tooltip on Form_Load event and attached it to a button on the form. Looks great when user hovers over button but times out after 30 seconds (which I set using popup delay etc.). But once it fades out, the second time user hovers over the button, the tooltip never shows up. Almost like it dies a natural death!
View 1 RepliesI am currently programming within Visual Studio 2008 with VB.Net. I have been asked to add a tooltip to the upper closing button (the 'X' in the top right of the form next to the maximize and minimize buttons).
First I added a ToolTip from the toolbox to my form. I didn't have to disable the tooltips for the minimize, maximize and close and it usually doesn't appear. I then used @Saman function with one minor change:
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
If m.Msg = 160 And m.WParam = 20 Then
ToolTip1.SetToolTip(Me, "Save and Close")
[Code]....
As you can see instead of using his ToolTip1.Show() I used ToolTip1.SetToolTip(). I found with the show it worked infrequently, yet with the setToolTip it set the tooltip of the ('X') close button to my new text ("Save and Close") and thus it shows up whenever my mouse goes over the close button.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 (with focus in VB.NET). I want to add tooltip to the menu items in the menus I have created.Now I know that menu items have a property call tooltip and if I type text there, tooltips are displayed. But I want to use tooltip control for that because it gives me flexibility of changing colours or adding a heading to tooltips.I was able to bound tooltip control for controls on forms like button, textbox etc. But how can I achieve the same for menu items. Basically I want that my tooltips for menus have a heading also and If I want I can change colours.
