control tip text

[JohnE]

I would like to programmatically add control tip text as
instructions for various controls rather then use the
properties sheet. But, the control tip text can be one
long line.
Does anyone know if and how you can wordwrap the text in
the popup control tip when done in code?
Any thoughts are appreciated.

You can make the control tip as many lines as you want just type the first
line, hold down the Control button (on your keyboard) and press Enter (on
your keyboard) and type in line number 2 and so on...

Hope that helps...

John,
Gina told you how to do it in the property sheet.
You can also use code.
In a Form or Control event:
[ControlName].ControlTipText = "This is line 1." & vbCrLf & "this is Line
2."
