Drag N Drop Tooltips?

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a cool new little Drag N Drop feature I've added to my forms for
dragging data from one field to another. Works great, but is there a way I
can create a Tooltip that travels with the mouse cursor which shows the data
I'm dragging? I know how to change the mouse cursor itself.

Thanks.

Tooltips are "connected" to Controls. Unless you are actually moving a
Control in your Drag N Drop feature, I don't think so. You can, of course,
include code to move a Label or Text Box along with whatever visual
representation you are using. Note that these are just rather general
statements because you didn't say how you accomplished Drag N Drop.

Thanks Larry,

I used this KB article to create my Drag and Drop.

Can I make it so that when my mouse moves it shows the contents of my drag
box as a label that appears next to the mouse?

That would be great but I need the code.
