I have a task to provide a RichTextBox control that behaves like a tooltip, ie:
1. Hovering when mouse moves
2. Remove after N seconds (customizable) or if the user closes it (by "X" button)
The regular tooltip does not provide a RichText capabilities (else I'd take it)
Should I take a form and put a RichText inside, and set the form properties accordingly? Something else?
I'm a really new programmer, teaching myself VB .net
Basically I need user input text from fields in a panel assembled and some parts formatted ( basically italic) and displayed in text box. Really the same as MS Word dose for citation references, then it displays the input correctly.[code]...
I was wondering if some of you can help me with a problem I can't seem to get around. I've got a database that contains a list of users who are connected to an application. The usernames and number of users connected will be random. What I need to do is to display two dynamic text boxes and also have a dynamic tooltip for each of the text boxes for each user displayed. If you look at the attached screenshot I drafted up, I'll only use the first user 'John' for this example.I will hardcode my example because getting the data from the database isn't the issue I'm having. My problem is figuring out how to make the text boxes and tooltips unique for each time someone visits the form. I would also like to be able to set the text within the boxes as well. So, I would need two textboxes for John called:

View 1 RepliesCan I create a tooltip that will show up when a user moves his/her cursor over an image? I can't find such a property in Visual Studio, and I've scoured Google to no avail. I'm using an image in a PictureBox.
Here's to anyone out there on StackOverflow instead of some awesome Halloween party! Yay!
Does anyone know if it's possible to skin the tooltip window so it looks like: Attachment 2448.Instead of the yellow box or the balloon like it does now?
View 1 RepliesI knew VB.net is very weird when talking about shadows and overloads, but this this I'm completely baffled.I'm working with a model similar to the following one. Parent class:
Public Class Base
Function F() As String
Return "F() in Base Class"
End Function

I have project that communicates with an embedded device via Telnet and displays the data string in a RichTextbox. Here is the (weird) problem: every time I send a command, the device responds, at the end of the response there is a prompt on a NEW LINE. However, when I ASCII encode the bytes received and display the string, the prompt is on the same line as the response in the text box. So I looked at the bytes for several different commands and the response always starts with a 13,10,13 which is CR, LF, CR, that puts the response on a new line, also displayed on a new line in the text box.
However, at the end of the response, there is always a 13,13,10 (CR,CR,LF) followed by the prompt, but in the text box the prompt is NOT on a new line it is merely a couple of spaces after the response. The funny thing is that this behavior is absolutely not present in Hyper Terminal, or Tera Term applications, when I connect to the device using Tera Term, the prompt is always on a new line. Even the VS IDE shows this correctly in the Output window, every prompt is on a new line. I can not for the life of me figure out why this behaves differently in my RichTextbox. I have experimented with different settings for the textbox, but so far nothing worked.
I am creating a custom Label control (by simply Inheriting the standard Label control and re-painting the background and text) because I need a very specific background and border. In the constructor of the control, I set the AutoSize property to false so I can have a standard default size for the new label.
Public Sub New()
/*Set the default size of the control to 75x24*/
Me.Height = 24
[code]....
In my application that uses this control, if I create the new custom label at run time (in code), the AutoSize property stays False, and it works properly.If I try to add the new custom label to my form at design time, it comes in with the AutoSize property set to True, and I have to manually set it to False in the properties window. It's not a huge problem, but I don't understand why the behavior is different.
I have a textbox and when the cursor blinks on this textbox I want the user to press a combination of keyboard keys in order to display the tooltip of the textbox. How can I create a keyborad "shortcut" for the above?
View 5 RepliesI've inherited a lot of custom made software for an office, and, while managing it, I've found it performs differently from machine to machine.I mean, some controls get painted in weird ways in some machines but well in another, or just work differently, like in some machines clicking something selects it, and in the next machine clicking the same thing makes it editable.I suspect, o course, of the myriad of DLL the software loads

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to check if a RichText box is on the bottom? I don't think this is working:
Code:
If RichTextBox1.Selected = Len(RichTextBox1.Text)
'It's on the bottom
End If
What I am doing is, having the text go to the bottom (like a chat client) with this code:
Code:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = Len(RichTextBox1.Text)
RichTextBox1.ScrollToCaret()
However, if the user is looking at what was sent before, it scrolls them back to the bottom.
