IDE :: Balloon Tooltip's Stem Does Not Point Correctly?
Sep 26, 2011
We are seeing a problem with tooltip balloon that its stem is not pointing to the control to which it is associated Our requirement is thatfter a button click, the tooltip should pop up for a second or two without mouse hover.Then, when the cursor is hovered on the control, then the balloon should be seenWe are successful with point 2 but for the point 1, the tooltip's stemis pointing to some random location instead of the control of interest.
The code is as follows -
errorTooltip.IsBalloon = True
errorTooltip.UseAnimation = True

I have a notifyicon in my VB.NET application. At the start of the programm it goes to the system tray and adds some global hotkeys. If one of this keys is pressed, then a balloon tooltip appears. At design time I have set up the balloon icon as 'Info'. But when the balloon tooltip appears, no 'Info' icon comes up, only the standard balloon tooltip. However, when the icon type is set up to 'Error' or 'Warning', it works. Why this behaviour? (on Vista)
An another problem is, that I set the timeout property f.i. to 500 milliseconds, the balloon tooltip is even visible after some seconds too.

I want to display a balloon tooltip in the system tray. Currently, my app has four forms. the main form host the notifyicon. In process of operation with other forms, i want the current form to be hidden , and display a balloon message using the notifyicon of the main form.
in the form about to close this is what i did
c# Code:
frmMain frm2 = new frmMain();
frm2.ShowBallon("Logged in","Check for new mail....");
this.Close();
[Code].....
The problem is that the procedure executes, but dosen't show any balloon .Another problem is that the notify icon does not disapper automatically when the app exits, except you hover the mopuse over it.

I have a balloon tool tip and want to show it as follows:
vb
Dim CompleteTooltip As New ToolTip With {.IsBalloon = True, .ToolTipTitle = "Title", .ToolTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Info}
CompleteTooltip.Show("Click close to confirm changes", btnClose, CInt(btnClose.Width / 2), CInt(btnClose.Height / 2), 5000)
i would have thought if i specify that i want a balloon tooltip the point that i specify would be the point that the balloon points to - NOT the upper left point of the tooltip itself... how can i specify the balloon point rather than the upper left point?

I am trying to make a little class to show the balloon tooltip at the moment I got eveything I want working but have no idea how to set the forecolor of text and backcolor.
here the code I am using to show the tip, I added backcolor and forecolor but nothing seems to happen, I am also using Visual Express 2010 if that makes any difference.
vbnet
Public Sub ShowTip(ByVal obj As Control)
Dim tp As New ToolTip()

Every six minutes, my program talks to an instrument. Then, it activates a notify icon's tool tip for half a second to say what it did and when. According to the databases, everything's been going great, but the balloon tip text is a week behind and still trying to catch up. I'm getting text after text about stuff that happened last week. You should know that no one's touched the machine for at least a week. Because the program talks to the instrument every six minutes, the computer never hibernates, never shuts down, and the screen saver is off.

If i have a NotifyIcon is it possible to owner draw the balloon tip for it?If not i was thinking it would have to be done this way:Work out if the icon is visible or not (as in not collapsed in windows vista / 7 / xp), and if not call ShowBalloonTip to force the icon visible then hide the balloon somehow. Work out the rect in relatio

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
[Code] .....
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?

I hve been working with points a lot recently, and I have been wondering if there is a way to set a point without setting point.x and point.y separately. For example for (3, 5): Point1 = (3, 5) But that isn't right

I'm trying to extract a piece of text from within the string, defining both a starting point and an ending point. For instance, say I want to search for the text found between "That is a " and " car" in the string "That is a red car", so it would return "red".I know you can use .SelectionStart and SelectionLength, but the length of the word can change, so the selection length can vary. What I want is to establish a specific starting point and a specific ending point from which to extract the text from the string.

I'm trying to calculate the direction between two points on a two-dimensional grid. Actually I want to determine if that vector is within a range of two values. Suppose the grid's origin is 0,0 at the upper left corner, and 0 degrees represents north. I have a point A on that grid. I want to know if a line from point A to point B on the grid is within a range of directions between 111.8 degrees (a little south of east) and 158.2 (a little east of south). Those are approximations; the 111.8 is 90 degrees plus the arctangent of 2/5, and 158.2 is 180 minus that value. I worked out a series of calculations worthy of a medieval astronomer, but I suspect there is a simpler way. I'm going to have to do this for a variety of other vectors, and I'd like to generalize

I need to move an ellipse from a known point on the screen to another known point on the screen.
I've tried using For.....Loops with less than desired results.
I can't remember everything I've tried, a lot of trial and error has been layed to waste. Lol
I've ended up with this code after putting together what I've tried, what I've learned elsewhere, and a couple of posts I've read on here.
All I want to do is move the ellipse from one point to the other along a straight line that forms the angle between the two points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2), make it grow from 2 pixels at it's start, to about 80 pixels by the time it reaches half way, then shrink from 80 pixels back down to 2 pixels by the time it reaches the point (X2,Y2).
Easier said than done.
Here's what I have at the present.....
Dim W As Integer
Dim H As Integer
Dim Num As Integer
[Code].....
....This seems like such a simple task, yet it's been a week since I came up with the idea, and I've had little success.

I have an application that uses a NotifyIcon in the tray to hide/restore the application, as well as pop up notices to the user of application events. My application has a notification queue, and I use the NotificationIcon.BalloonTipClosed event to determine when to reset the balloon and show the next notification (if there's one in the queue).
This method seems to work great in both usual causes (user lets the balloon close itself when it times out, and user clicks "X" in balloon to force it to close), but there's a third case where BalloonTipClosed doesn't get called:Notification balloon pops up While it's visible, user right-clicks on notification icon to bring up context menu, causing the balloon to disappear
The BalloonTipClosed event doesn't get triggered in this instance - I figure it's a bug in the framework (I'm using 2.0), but does anybody have an idea around this? If I don't get this event, my application always thinks there's a balloon visible (I have a boolean that prevents it from displaying multiple balloons at once), and it will never show another icon again, as long as it's running.

I am wondering how can I show a balloon tip for my system tray NotifyIcon application QUICKLY. What I mean by quickly is not linger around for like 5 seconds.. I have tried entering 1. For example my code is currently:
NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(1)
I thought about trying decimals but if I remember correctly from C++ it does nto work or make a difference.. how to display a balloon tip that pops up for only 1 second then dissapears very fast?
