I want to change default behaviour of tooltip and show it whenever a I need to. I have a registration form. When users leaves the current control, (when validating event is happenning more precisely) I validate the input text, if it's not valid then I set focus to the control again and I want then to show the tooltip, wether the mouse cursor is on the control or not.

View 3 RepliesI am working on implementing cell level error indication in my app and I have it set up to where it shows the error icon correctly and I tried using the datagridview FAQ sample code to show an errortooltip as well. I can watch as I set the errortooltip to have the proper data and display control (in mousemove event), yet the second I finish my mousemove event it fires the mouseleave event and resets my tooltip before the user ever has a chance to see it.
Here's my:
' show and hide the tooltip for error
Private Sub ChuteSinglesDataGridView_CellMouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles ChuteSinglesDataGridView.CellMouseMove
If cellInError.X = e.ColumnIndex AndAlso cellInError.Y = e.RowIndex Then
Dim cell As DataGridViewCell = ChuteSinglesDataGridView(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex)

The application I'm developing does some file management chores, such as renaming and deletion of files. I have noticed that often after a file is deleted via code, it is still shown in Windows Explorer although it doesn't exist anymore. A refresh (F5) solves this, however I wouldn't want end users to have to press F5 every couple of minutes when using the application.
Can a refresh of all open Windows Explorer windows be requested via code? Moreover, can the refresh be requested only for windows displaying a particular location? I've thought of getting all open windows, filtering them and then sending the F5 keystroke, however it sounds a bit like overkill. Any easier way to do it?

View 11 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.

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.

View 8 RepliesI'm populating a ToolTip with a string of text that has vBCrLf at the end to return a new line.
textfortooltip += dr(0) & dr(1) & vbCrLf
This produces multiple lines in my ToolTip based on a SQL query eg:
Administrator COMPUTER1

Is it possible to format the string so the spacing is a bit more presentable like:
Administrator COMPUTER1
sa COMPUTER1
RandomUser COMPUTER2
Through tabs or another method of populating the ToolTip?
