| | | Are you fed up with the fact that you can only display one line in vb tooltips. This class allows multiple line tooltips.
It also allows you to specify the Maximum Width of the tooltip, the delay until it appears, the length of time it is visible and whether the tooltip is centered below the control.
I have added support for setting the font that is used as well.

Excellent work. I will be using this
class for the rest of my natural vb
programming life - or until MS splits -
whichever comes first. :) Nice job!

I have added a MaxWidth Property to
this class to allow users to be able to
specify the Maximum width of the
tooltip in pixels. A CenterTip
parameter has also been added to the
AddControl method which will center the
tooltip below the control. The sample
code has been updated to demonstrate
these changes.

Me Again !! I have added VisibleTime
and DelayTime properties to allow users
to specify how long the tooltip is
visible for and how long it takes to
appear.

I'm looking for a way to change the
font of a tooltip window using some
sort of sendmessage command (not sure
which api function) anyone out there
know? - tristan@twcny.rr.com

Been looking for something like this
for some time. Great work! However, I
have not been able to use for
Label.ToolTips. If I am doing
something wrong, please let me know.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Thanks to Arkadiy Olovyannikov for
pointing that this code only worked in
the IDE. I have added a call to
InitCommonControls in the
class_initialise event to fix this
problem.

This is great! I've been looking for
this for a LONG time. Any idea how to
change the font?

I have added a property which allows
users to specify the font that is to be
used in the tooltips.

I sent a version of this tooltip class
with some modifications to gordon, if
he doesn't post it and anyone wants it
from me, just email me. it includes
everything his has, and also more time
editing, and
forecolor/backcolor/tooltip text
changing.. HUGE thanks to gordon for
showing me how to change tooltip fonts,
with that. BTW the tooltip class i
have has more features than i've seen
any free-code ones have.. post it

Mr. Robinson,
This is good code.
However, when I try to run it, I can't
because I'm missing the
Tooltiproject.dll that is unique to
this code. Could you e-mail it to me?
Did I miss something? My address is
mellencolie@yahoo.com
Thanks for you
help!!

It works pretty OK!
I've updated the
code with the mods from:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programm
ing/Programming_Languages/Visual_Basic/Q
_10423696.html
Thanks!

This really must be great. The only
problem is, VB gives me an error saying
tooltiproject.dll is missing. please
e-mail it to me: alex2588@hotmail.com.
i really want to be able to use this
code.
