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:

I 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 1 RepliesI'm in the process of trying to create a class that will allow me to create windows shortcut; Im using the following PDF file that gives me the shortcut file structure.
Ive been able to successfully load a shortcut file and parse its Lnk File Structure but now Im on the Shell Item ID List structure but I cannot find the Structure of the ITEMIDLIST anywhere
Furthermore I know I could use the Windows script object, but this is a dependency Im trying to avoid if I can, hence writing my own Shortcut class.
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".

View 5 RepliesI 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 was trying to use the ToolTip class as shown in the sample code below.
errorToolTip.Show(toolTipValue, control, (control.Location.X + control.Width) / 15, (control.Location.Y / 15) , 4000)
To place the tooltip adjacent to textbox object.
Problem is: the above code is placing the tool tip text in the correct location for few textbox controls and in wrong location for few textbox controls.
Information:
1. Application was in VB6 earlier and is mirgrated to .NET now.
2. All the forms in the application are UserControls embedded in WindowsForm.
3. In the above code, X and Y locations, I am converting them from Twips to Pixels.
How to manage to have the tooltip text exactly adjacent to the textbox control for all?
