Tooltip Being The "form" For A Visualizer
May 10, 2011
For a visualizer, I want to establish a control made of two controls. The visualizer is a HEX display of a buffer. Id like to chose the up to 16 byte hex field with a small numeric up-down counter. My problem is that I am writing the visualizer and the visualizer is not allowing me to assign a tooltip to me.form1 or aything nearly approximating that. I'd like the "form" to look like a tooltip. Currently it does allow me to use a messagebox. I have discoved that visuliizers can call classes:
Dim
visualizerHost As
New
VisualizerDevelopmentHost(objectToVisualize,
GetType(Hex1))
Where Hex1 is a class but the class will not allow me to define a tooltip.

I'm working on a side project which, put simply, allows for the playing of audio files of multiple types through the form or system (My.Computer.Audio.[...]). I need to grab the audio levels of sound currently playing on the system -- not necessarily what's just playing through my form.
A "full-audio graphic visualizer" if you will. However I just need a method of grabbing the data in the first place - the rest I have taken care of. The different values you see in a graphic equalizer are what I need to grab.
If you had music playing via Songbird, and started playing a podcast voice MP3 in Windows Media Player, I want to have it all-inclusive. I've looked in the My.Computer.Audio namespace, looked into Fast Fourier Transforms (which turned out to seem much more adequate for equalizers as opposed to visualizers), and more.

I assigned a tooltip in my forms, I want it to show up everytime the form is minimized and hovered by a mouse pointer. These forms I am talking about are MDI Children.

I was trying to create a visualizer for IDictionary or ICollection Then like the simple visualizer (without dialog; I mean the ususal string visualizer that appears when hovering the variable, see image below), I want to make my custom text, I want to cast the collection to its type's list (I.E. StringCollection to List(Of String) or List) and then I will be able to see it in the visualizer. Or for Dictionaries show to lists visualizers for keys and for values.how to implement or even how to start?This is something I thought about:
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Collections;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
[code]....
I want to use something similar for ICollection (or IList), IDictionary etc.Note that in arrays, the visualizer shows every nested objcet.This is actually what I want to achieve:Try to visualize a List and you will see that there is a private value _items, so you can see its items. I want to achieve something similar in collection and dictionary.

I 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 have an SQL Database which has some end dates. I have used this little statement to make sure that the dates come out of the database in the right format
Execute("Set dateformat dmy")
And I use the below statement to enter the data in to a datatable and, with the above command, when I go to look at the data in datatable visualiser the dates seem to be in the correct dd/MM/yyyy format
"SELECT CID, expdate FROM Traineecerts WHERE iscurrent = 1"
Now when i try d1 = row("expdate") the format changes to the american MM/dd/yyyy format
Please note d1 refers to a variable with the type of date. Even if I format the dates after using d1 = format(row("expdate"),"dd/MM/yyyy") they don't change unless I make d1 a string. Is this normal?

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 small non mdi form with only 3 controls. The user can select a name of an animal on a listbox and a thumbnail picture of it is shown on the picturebox. There is also a tton.The tooltip on the thumbnail is quite important as left/right click do different actions but for some reason the tooltip will not display unless the user clicks the form.

I 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?

how to use a ToolTip on a UserControl? I have a UserControl with some TextBoxes on it & I am adding the UC to a panel on my form at runtime. Now I want to set the ToolTip text for one of the TextBoxes, but I can't figure out how to do that. I have added a ToolTip component to my UserControl at design time.

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 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.

I'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
sa COMPUTER1
RandomUser COMPUTER2
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?

I'd like to display a tooltip when the user mouses over a groupbox's title. (ONLY the title, not the box itself)
I'd also like it to move as you move your mouse as well, like Javascript tooltips on many websites.
What would be the best way to do this?

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.
