View 4 RepliesI 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.

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)

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.

View 2 RepliesOk 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.

page1.Visible = False
ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = status_page2
End Sub

View 11 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 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?
