Tooltips

Question

 

How do I popup tooltip from a shape control?

Answer 1

You could do something like the following;

 

Dim tp As New ToolTip()

 

Private Sub OvalShape1_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OvalShape1.MouseHover

        tp.Show("OvalShape tooltip", ShapeContainer1, OvalShape1.Left, OvalShape1.Top, 5000)

End Sub

 

Private Sub OvalShape1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OvalShape1.MouseLeave

          tp.Hide(ShapeContainer1)

End Sub

Answer 2

You can use also:

ToolTip1.SetToolTip(Me.ShapeContainer1, "hehehe oval shape!")

where:
    Me.ShapeContainer1 = New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer
    Me.OvalShape1 = New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.OvalShape
