I want to add Tool Tips to a the controls in a ToolStrip. I add a Tool Strips control to the form and there is no property for it, only for the generic Tool Tip which doesn't have the same features.

With the tool tip text having disappeared from the properties box, I am having trouble getting it to appear.This is what I have written for a Radio Button (as mouse hover):
" Dim tooltip1 As New ToolTip
tooltip1.ShowAlways = True
tooltip1.AutoPopDelay = 5000
[code].....
Instead of the tool tips popping up next to the cursor, it would be more convenient for me to have them appear in a label on the status bar.
I've tried to myself, but had no luck. I also had no luck googling it. I mean, I could go about it in a shameful "ghetto rig" way by applying mouse overs to all the items and having them change the text in the label on the bar, but that's a waste of time.
I have a project with Control arrays that include over 200 controls.
I could use Tipster to define a Tool Tip or I could assign a Handler for the MouseHover event & use the handler to provide a help remark.
Would the Tipster approach result in the use of more memory/code than the MouseHover approach to this job?
Okay I have this two Forms.. one for the parent and one for the mdichild. I have a toolstrip menu in the parent with a button(with a pic) named close document.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to make dragable controls like the ones in paint.net. see the attachment. they look like forms kind of because they have the red x at the top like a form does, but it kind of looks like a custom control too. Is it possible to make these types of controls in VB.Net 2008.
View 2 RepliesI really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.

View 4 RepliesIs it possible to add the tips to your code in the sub so the user know what part of the sub is for? Like if I create a sub like this:
Private Sub Stuff(ByVal Tip as String)
End Sub
When the yellow box comes up you might see something like:
Quote:
Private Sub Stuff(Byval Tip as string)
This is just some text you use in the sub, don't worry about it.

Can you guys share some techniques and methods on how you validate dates, where and how to do and stuff like that.Like If you were to set a new employee's five month contract, and having him/her account terminated on contract ending.Let's say I built a Lan-Based Management Information System and a small application that will automatically routes/scan every dates in the database every 1 mili-second using a Timer Control in VB to identify which date has been reached to dismissal phase.

View 2 RepliesJUst started to program in VB again after a long downtime (5-6 years).During this time I have been programing in ADA , Java and have therefore forgotten the "VB-way of doing things". Anyway..I'm triyng to build a web-aplication that looks like a normal questionform. [code]When the user hits "Submit" I want to add this information to a Excel-sheet(that exist in the same map as the web-page).Also I want to to program to check if that "Type" of event is already book for that date and time.I can easily do some of this in a "normal " application but is there anything special I have to think about when it's a web-app?Im also wondering how its works when you want to copy info from my application to a excel-book. How do I do that ?

View 11 Repliesworking with dates has always been a tricky part so let me show you how I handle dates in my application and please could you show how do you handle dates and also feel free to criticise. Normally I would create out a system to be able to save and then load a date note I am using a varchar(50) on my SQL Server db rather than datetime but I understand this is wrong, that's why I am looking for a decent way to work the dates out. My system has worked for me fine so far but if I would have to sort the dates ascending or descending I think I would get into trouble because it is saved as text.

I'm currently debugging a form that sets a flag when the mouse button is pressed, then clears the flag when the mouse button is released. As long as the mouse button is pressed, the user can move the mouse around and a few things happen depending on where they move. One of the things that happens is that a timer starts, or stops, and a few things change color depending on the mouse position. The timer starts when it should, then stops when it should, but once stopped, it is not re-starting when it should. I can verify that MouseMove events are getting through, because coloring changes as I move the mouse, as it should. This would be a simple thing to debug...except that it requires the darn mouse button to be down, and it uses the mouse move event. Anybody who has put a breakpoint in a mouse move event handler knows the issue: There are THOUSANDS of them. Worse yet, since the mouse button is necessary for switching to the IDE, as well as setting a breakpoint (technically, a keyboard shortcut could do this if I could shift focus), I can't wait for the problem to happen, then switch to the IDE and set a breakpoint to see what is happening then.Does anybody have any tips or techniques for debugging in mouse move events when the mouse button is down and has to stay that way? As it is, I'm going to have to write some funky code into the method just so that I have a place to get a breakpoint when I need it without breaking on every one of the mouse move events.

View 1 RepliesI have an MDI container with a ToolStrip. I ran into a naming issue with images/icons. I removed the lines of code referring to the image of the buttons in the MDIForm.Designer.VB file. Then, in the actual designer, I imported the image file as a project resource and added this image to each button.
When I view the MDI form in the designer, the buttons appear normally, but when I run the app, the buttons are not there!
Should i have not edited the designer.vb file directly? Can this be fixed without recreating each button?
