View 1 RepliesI 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 want to disable the shadow underneath the standard tool tip ... is this possible?

I have a small application in which I need to show alerts if a particular condition is met. I have an mdi form and several child forms. Now the best way to show an alert is to show a tooltip on the right side corner of my mdi form. Though this works, but the problem is I want user to close the tooltip once he has read. Now the tooltip that vb.net provide does not support click events. If I give a long time duration the tooltip would be open all the time and if I give a short duration then it will close quickly. What can I do ?
View 1 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)
[Code] .....
Ok basically what I am doing is using panels to create virtual "pages" within my application, and using buttons to switch from page to page. However whenever I click the button to move from page1 to page2, page 1 disappears and page2 does not become visible.
Private Sub page1_next_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles page1_next.Click
page2.Visible = True
page1.Visible = False
ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = status_page2
End Sub
Also, how do I make it so that when the user focuses on a text box a tool tip pops up?
Is there any way to change the properties of the DataGridViews default tooltip?ie.change it's display duration or text font/size.

View 4 RepliesI am adding ToolTips to my forms and sometimes to get the point across my text string can get lengthily. This results in a long single line. Currently I am simply adding manual carriage returns after a test run and then making changes when it looks right. Has to be a better way.
View 3 RepliesI 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?
