Access 2007 ToolTip Font Apparence...

Hi all,

I have designed a continuous form with a button (repeated in each row,
of course...) that opens details of the specific record/row. It works
perfectly. I also have changed the button tooltip behaviour to show
the client's ID, as requested by the client...

The only problem is that the client would like the tooltip a bit more
visible. How can I change the tooltip font, size, color, background,
etc..., in an Access 2007 continuous form?

Thank you in advance for any help u may provide...

Ciao, Lupo
 
Lupo,
I'm not right up to date with 2007, but in the past, Tooltip font was
controlled through Windows itself,
Try Right clicking the desktop, and select
Appearance/Advanced/ToolTip... and set the font and size to suit.
Be aware though that this will alter the tooltip for all windows apps.
You might want to try showing/hiding a label control on the form, using
your button MouseOver event.
That would allow you control of font, without affecting your general
windows tooltip setting.

Dear Al,

thank you for the reply. The windows appareance tip will do for the
project, I think. Just in case or for future reference, how would u go
about the mouseover thing? I mean I can set visible to true on
mouseover, but how would I hide it again?

Ciao, Lupo

EXTREMELY happy...

Lupo,
You might want to check out the new 97 and 2003 file I have on my
website Access Tips (below).
It's called "Custom Tool Tips", and uses the Mouse move to show/hide
custom "psuedo" Tool Tips.
