I initally posted this July 29, 05 and did not get any replies:

I have a Windows Forms UserControl that runs in a thick client. I am
now deploying it within an IE web page. Everything works fine,
including events, except for one feature. As the mouse is moved across
the control, a System.Windows.Forms.Tooltip is used within the control
to display information to the user about what is under the mouse. It
works fine in the thick client but does not display in the web version.



Previously, our control was ActiveX and the tooltip worked fine in both

thick and browser clients. Any assistance would be appreciated.


Thanks.
 
IE, unlike a winform, does not create a tooltip, you code will have to do it
manually. see the ToolTip class.

is the event even being fired? can you put a message box or alert prompt to
test to see if the event is fired or not? One thought is that the event
fires but doesn't complete which means the error may lie outside of the
event hookup. If the event isn't firing, then the event hook up is the
problem.
