I have a label with a tooltip attribute for rollover effect. This works all great. However, it seems to get hidden behind any dropdown lists that are nearby. I have tried adjusting the z-index, without any luck. This issue does not appear in firefox, and I have not tested it in later versions of IE.
I realize this is probably due to IE6s poor css standards-compatibility, but how can I get around this?
One of my clients wants a set up multiple dropdown lists as a set of outbound links (yes, I cringed too, but he does have his reasons. there are 3 dropdowns, each one pertaining to its own group of links. When each dropdown has its SelectedIndexChanged, it then redirects based on the choice made. However, lets say I make a choice in the second dropdown. It goes to the proper link. If I then choose a link in the first dropdown, it goes to the proper link. Then if I select a link in the third dropdown, it will go to the link specified in the choice I made in the FIRST dropdown.
How can I code it so that it will always select the most recent selection?
I have multiple combox boxes,
A B C
Combobox B has items Fruit, Veg, Dairy
Combobox C needs to contain 3 list and depending on what value is selected in Combo Box B.
For example,
If I select Veg in Combo Box B, I would like to have a drop down list containing "tomatoes, lettuce, onion,..........."
If I select Dairy in Combo Box B, I would like to have a drop down list containing "Milk, Cheese...................."
what is the best way to load dropdown lists from reference/lookup tables for a desktop application? the application is layed out into 3 tiers. I've built up my entities.the front end has a form with 6 tabs. and one big save (another discussion :)Should I load them all when the form is initially loaded? Are there any caching mechanisms I could use?
it is vb.net app on a network drive that is accessed by several users.it's also worth noting that some reference tables may be updated. Via another form.
I want to create a website where it is possible to add dynamically "X" dropdown-lists (or other elements)These dropdown-lists should be shown on the website and furthermore there should be an other element be shown, that depends on the dropdown-list (for example: if the user chooses option "A" there is a checkbox, if the user chooses "B" there is a input field)

I have an Application that has a tab control on it. Depending what the end user clicks on, a new tab is created dynamically at runtime and I use a Template class to fill it with controls of what is needed for the type of tab being created. All works fine but where I have an issue is with the dynamic tooltip control. I added a tooltip to the main form and added code to access it in the Template Class. But I feel I have to rig it to get it to work and am looking for a more proper way to do it. I access the Tooltip1 on Form1 via Form1.components. However, "Components" in the Form1 designer code is declared Private and I change it to Public and it works fine but of course as I know when I make changes to the Design of Form1 it recreates the code and Chages the Componets back to Private. So I need a better way to access it or a better way to create Tooltips dynamically.
Code:
'---CreateTab Class--- a portion of code for example
CreateTab(ByRef tpNew As TabPage)
Dim btnSelect = New System.Windows.Forms.Button

View 2 RepliesI am developing an application in vb.net 2008 express edition that displays utility meter information. In one column of datagridview it shows the meter type in numeric code. When the user hovers over the the individual cells in meter type column i want to be able to show more descriptive info on what that numeric code actually means.
As an example the cell in datagridview will show 1254 the actual description for this numeric code is "Landis Gyr Focus AX SD 2S 7.2Kh"
Below is my code so far, every other aspect of application is working except for above.

View 9 RepliesIs it possible to make tooltips invisible in VB.NET 2005? The reason that I ask is because I need to store some data about each node in a treeview control, but I am already using the node's tag value to store an object that represents a "SuperToolTip" which is a control in DevComponent's DotNetBar utility. So I do not want the tooltip to be visible, since I am already displaying a more feature rich tooltip for each node. I guess I could store an array in the tag, that would contain the object that I needed, as well as the string info I need for the node as well.

It may occur that one row of the data is partially hidden (the combobox might be too narrow). I'd like to show the whole line by using a tooltip or right-click context menu.
Currently I can't find how to 'catch' the row that I'm currently holding on or passing over by mouse.

I cannot seem to figure out how to use a large icon (I'm assuming 64x64) in balloon tooltips, like when installing new hardware device drivers. I already have the icon resource added, and when I have it coded:
Me.afkNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = AFK_Timer.My.Resources.clock_balloonicon
I get the error: "Value of type 'System.Drawing.Icon' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolTipIcon'."
there I am using a ToolTip on a Label that I am using as a place holder, so the same Label is being recreated over and over in diferent locations each time the ToolTip Message is diferent. The problem is the mesages is all showing ap at the same time overlaping one another.

I'm going through my company's program making sure that all icons have tooltips. We have a lot of grids with icons, but in case the settings for the tooltip to show up are not there, the column header should have the same tooltip as the icon. In regular grids I just click the column header, and then the properties for it show up in the bottom right corner in Visual Studio. However, we have some treeviews, and when I click on the column header of a column in the treeview, Tooltip is not among the properties I can edit. How to make a tooltip show up on such a column header?
View 3 RepliesI can't claim credit for this code but I think it's cool. It will show the entire contents of an item in a tooltip even when the columns are truncating it. Drop a tooltip and listview container on your form with the default name.

I'm trying to use the WebKit-component ([URL]) in VB with the help of Visual Studio 2008. This is running without problems, except for two following two issues:
1. Hints/Tooltips are not shown (e.g. as there usually will appear one if you stay with the mouse over the Google-logo)
2. If there's a popup-window, I don't know how to get the new desired URL.
[Code]...
One of the things that I think is really cool about VB.NET is how built-in functions and subs have extra help text in their ToolTips like "Expression: String expression to search for replace string." as well as the usual "Replace(...parameters...) as string" text. So are the pop up boxes with things like "CompareMethod.Binary" or "CompareMethod.Text." And finally I like how some functions and subs have different sets of parameters for the same routine. For example, New FileStream() starts with either a path (string) parameter or handle parameter, but none of the 15 sets of parameters contain both path and handle parameters. Is there a way that I can set up the classes and functions I write to use these things or do they only work with built in classes and functions? If there is a way, what are the proper names for them so I can look them up in the VS/VB documentation? I would be happy enough if someone would give me an example of them, but it would be nicer if I could go through the documentation and find out if there are other cool things that are related or near by.
View 3 RepliesI would like to loop through two lists using a For each loop.
dim data as list(of pointpairlist)
For each recLine in records
For Each chan In recLine.channels and d in data
d.add( func(chan) )
Next
next
Note: each record line has one sample from each channel recorded. i.e. each record line is a slice of a 32 sensor recordings. I want to build up a x,y list of data points for each channel (the x axis is common to all channels). Is there some way to do it similar to what I have above (avoiding indexing variables).
I'm trying to populate one list from another. I would think this code should work, but at the end of the day I get a list of identical items.

I'm very new to programing and am having problems trying to perform some calculations with a list. I have read in an array into a list with a count attached to each item example: "xxxxxx(intcount)". What I'm trying to do it use two xxxxxx(intcount)'s at xxxxxx(intcount+5) and xxxxxx(intcount+25) and use these two variables to calculate yyyyyy(intcount) but it isn't working. I understand this may be a stupid question but could someone please point me in the right direction.
View 6 RepliesOk this is a hw assignment like always....just not sure on how to do the math on this form...the constants are declared for the registration fees and i did the same for the required days at each work shop i just need to find a way to multiply the days required at each workshop by the lodging fees. but i also need to display the lists of costs so its pretty complicated.
View 6 RepliesI have a method where I'm taking a generic object and using TypeOf to check what has been passed through. Now I would like to pass it a List(Of T) (T being anything) and no matter what T is I'd like to do the same thing to this list. I tried the following:
public sub foo(ByVal obj As Object)
if TypeOf obj Is List(Of Object) Then
'do stuff
end if
end sub
but this doesn't seem to work if I pass it List(Of String), say. I suppose that List(Of Object) and List(Of String) are being treated as different objects, but I thought that since String is an object, the comparision might work.
Now I realise that this is as ugly as sin and I'm better off overloading the method to take List(Of T) as its parameter, but I'm mostly asking out of curiosity: is there a way of comparing the types List(Of Object1) and List(Of Object2) and getting a positive result, since they are both just List(Of T)?
