I have a datagridview that displays text from a cell in a tooltip when text is too long to be viewed in the cell itself. The default length of time, however, is not long enough for me to read all of it.
How can I make the tooltip display for a longer period of time?
does anybody know how to get the datagridview to display just the time in instead of the date and time. I am tied to a downtime tracking database that has a separate date and time field. when I try to display/edit them the datagridview box refuses to leave the date out of the time and keeps appending 12/30/99 to the time field. I have spent the last 6 hours on msdn trying to find a solution and none of them seem to work. why did they put auto-formatting in a control without any way of defeating it? anyways, is there some way of displaying the long time (23:00:00) not 11:00 pm in the datagridview without it appending a date to the field just because the data type is date?
View 8 RepliesI am showing some data in a DataGridView using an access table. Here is my
Dim ConnString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=....db.mdb"
Dim SQLString As String = "SELECT * FROM Table1"
Dim OleDBConn1 As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ConnString)
Dim DataSet1 As New DataSet()
[Code] ....
The problem is that there is one column in my access database that is formatted as date/time however the only values in the access is time. When I display this table in the DataGridView, it adds this random date from years ago in front of that time. How do I reformat this DataGridView column to only display the time and not the date?
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!
View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 7 RepliesThe maximum value that works for AutoPopDelay property of ToolTip is 30 seconds (30000 milliseconds). Any values greater than this maximum will be defaulted to 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds).[url]...

View 4 RepliesI have created an Unbound DataGridView. It has has 4 Columns Name, Last Name, Picture, CheckBox. I would like to do change the checkbox's enabled state true or false (editable or not) at the time I add the row
Not its checked state :) and would also like to change image that is placed in the Image column cell during the add row.
I have searched the web and not found a good resolution for this problem in vb.net.
When you change a color in the controls property it does not respond with the color changes.
I've been trying to work out how to change the text of a tooltip in VB .NET 2005 Express, and have read posts like this: [URL]but that doesn't helped me, because I already have a ToolTip control on my form, but I still can't see any properties for my btnJoin button in Intellisense (I've been looking for btnJoin.Tool..., but not a sausage). I can see a "Tooltip on Tooltip" property in the properties window of the btnJoin button, and that allows me to assign tooltip text at compile time, but I want to change the tooltip text at runtime with code.
See attached ScreenShot1.png of the relevant items.
how I can do this, and what property name I can use to change the tooltip text for btnJoin?

View 2 RepliesI have a dataGridView that I programatically create where I want to set the toolTipText differently for each row by setting the toolTipText in the first column/cell of each row. I know I can do that by doing the following:
myDataGridView.Rows(n).Cells(0).ToolTipText = varContainingText
This works fine. However, it only displays for the default period of time (5 seconds I believe). I'd like to set the autoPopDelay but can't seem to figure out how. I can't seem to do something like:
myDataGridView.Rows(n).Cells(0).autoPopDelay = 10000
This is not a valid reference. How do I set the autoPopDelay for this?
I have an unbound data grid view. Every cell that has text will display ToolTipText for that value. I'd like certain cells to have no ToolTip and others to have a ToolTip that provides instruction on what the "X" button is for rather than just having "X" display. If anything, for this particular cell, I'd probably rather have no ToolTip. I've tried setting the ToolTip.Text ="" for the cell immediately after creating the row. On other cells, if I change the underlying text value, I try altering the displayed tip text, but only get the text value for that cell.

I have the following search code which works fine. However, I have an additional task to do, which is create a count function for the Record found or Record not found. Presently what it does is it searches and if a record is found it displays at the tooltip "Record Found" if not it says "Record Not found". However, sometimes you have 2 or more records. Therefore, the tooltip should say the exact amount of records found.. For example, 3 Records Found or even 5 Records Found. Also if only one record is found it says "Record Found" but if more it should display " 2 Records Found".

I'm aware that the tooltip object can contain an image. I am unable to make an image popup when the mouse hovers over a datagridview cell, since it is not possible to attach a tooltip object to a cell ( myTip.SetToolTip(gridCell, "Hello") generates a compile error)
