Add A Tooltip To The 'X' In A Windows Form?
Feb 17, 2011I 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.

Windows - ToolTip While Drop Down ComboBox
Nov 12, 2010I have created a combo box in my project which takes a certain amount of numbers from a file. This Combo drops down the list of the numbers each of represents something.

What I want now is to see the tooltip when the mouse rolls over the list of the dop down combo. How can I do that? Until now the internet didn't give me something to work on it. Is there some one to assist me on that?

Tooltip Being The "form" For A Visualizer
May 10, 2011For 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.

Getting Parent Form's Property Values In A Child Form
Feb 20, 2012I have a custom form that I use instead of msgbox for a number of reasons. The initial reason was to keep the message centered on it's parent rather than the screen. There are many articles about this but I still have not found an elegant way to get access to the Parent's properties from inside the Child without passing them in (by one way or another).
In the child form the me.parent, me.parentform are not instantiated and apparently can not be used.
The point is to have this form be totally encapsulated with the logic being self contained. This is not an MDI child, and I do not want it to be due to the limitations on MDI children.
My current workaround looks like this I use a ShowMsg Function in my MyMsgBox form which looks like this:

Jan 11, 2011I have got a surprise when my app did not work as I expected when I started it from the Windows Start Menu.

I have like dozens of interfaces like this working throughout my project and I can't believe this simple one can't work!
