ToolTip question

[Boni]

Dear all,
I have a problem with displaying tooltip on picturebox.
In OnMouseMove I put
m_ToolTip.SetToolTip(sender, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA")

But tooltip is not shown.

m_ToolTip.Active=true does not help.

I created a new small project, and there is no problem with a tooltip in it.

Are there some other settings? Can somebody give an idea, what could be a
problem?

Thanks,

Boni

Try this:
m_ToolTip.SetToolTip(Picturebox1,"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA")
Or whatever you have actually named the Picturebox. Sender is the name of the control that the tooltip is for.

Hi James,
I did. Nothing changes.

Try this:
m_ToolTip.SetToolTip(Picturebox1,"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA")
Or whatever you have actually named the Picturebox. Sender is the name of
the control that the tooltip is for.

Are you allowing the cursor to stay still over the control for the necessary
amount of time?

I think I found out what the reason is. It seems that tooltip don't work on
formless control (at least in my case).

Instead of putting it in the MouseMove event, try putting your tooltip in the MouseEnter event for the PictureBox. That way,
the tooltip should show as soon as the mouse pointer enters the picturebox area.
