How to set to extend the duration show time for ToolTip? or alway show until the mouse leave the control?
I need to extend the functionality of the ToolTip control...Problem: I need to show some introductionary instructions to my users the first time they see a new form based feature in my app. Something along the lines of: '...Welcome to the blah, blah, blah feature. To do this, click that, mouse here, press that so on and so forth...'
Then I want a 'Don't show this again' check box somewhere near the bottom so the 'welcome screen' can be supressed. Currently I'm thinking of loading an app wide form (Public Dim frmMyToolTip as frmToolTip) and using it's .TopMost property to ensure that when I show it, it appears over my modal form (I can Hide/Show at will.) Also without a caption or border, my users can't move it.
As it will be displayed on top of a Modal form, I need a Background worker component to run a timer which will hide the form after a set period. I can store the state of the CheckBox to stop the form from showing next time if user does not require it.
How to extend the session time. There are many form in my application like parent and child forms. So how can I make pop up to appear when session times out and the pop up should appear on the form where the user is currently in, when popup comes I have to disable all forms like(they should be transparent (i.e) user should NOT be able to edit them).

When I setup the event using DDay.ical I can successfully send the events to a user's outlook. The problem arises when multiple events are setup at the same time. When this happens all emails are updates to the original task, not new tasks.
I tried adding a name to the event using the .Name property, which results in the event email being an unsupported calendar invite.

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)

Using 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!

I have a small application in which I need to show alerts if a particular condition is met. I have an mdi form and several child forms. Now the best way to show an alert is to show a tooltip on the right side corner of my mdi form. Though this works, but the problem is I want user to close the tooltip once he has read. Now the tooltip that vb.net provide does not support click events. If I give a long time duration the tooltip would be open all the time and if I give a short duration then it will close quickly. What can I do ?
View 1 RepliesCurrently have created/extended the DomainUpDown class hoping I would be able to add one simple feature: I was hoping to be able to show a tooltip when the user mouses over the control that would show the next and previous item in the list. However the DomainUpDown class does not have a mouseenter event and overriding the mouseenter method does not seem functional. Is there something I am missing or do I just need to create my own MouseEnter event?

I am using a Balloon tooltip to show the user which characters are invalid as a filename. I use the IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars array and convert each character to a string, before appending it to a "Invalid filename characters:" string.
vb.net
If IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars.Contains(e.KeyChar) Then
e.Handled = True
Dim str As String = "The following characters are invalid filename characters:" & nl
Dim invalidChars As New List(Of String)
For Each c As Char In IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars

The result is not pretty: How do I get rid of the 'non-visual' characters (they are probably newlines, backspaces, null chars, etc) so they don't clutter up the list?
