Tooltips Not Showing?

[Mitchell Vincent]

I have a feeling this is something simple.

I have a MDI app written in vb.NET - but no tooltips seem to be showing.
Is there some "ShowTips" property that I need to be setting on each window?

An example of how I'm setting the tooltips :

Me.ToolTip1.SetToolTip(Me.MyField, "Random tip about MyField")

I didn't mean for my message to imply I had found the solution. That is
simply how I'm doing it - and it doesn't show the tooltips! Am I doing
it wrong somehow?

Hi

Based on my test with the code in the link in previous another post.

In addition, here is a link with example for your reference.
ToolTip.SetToolTip Method
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/
frlrfSystemWindowsFormsToolTipClassSetToolTipTopic.asp

If I set a tooltip for a control on a children form, the tooltip will show.

So I suggest you may try the code in the link above to see if that works
for you.

If you still have any concern, please feel free to post here.

Hi Peter! That is exactly the code I'm using and I'm not seeing any
tooltips.

What I'm doing in detail :
In VS2003 on the window design properties window there is a property
listed there asd "tooltip on tooltip1" - I'm typing my tooltip text in
there and VS is putting exactly the code you describe in the form for
me. Should I be doing this by hand outside the designer?

Hi

It is strange I still can not reproduce the problem when I set the tooltip
in the designer's property windows.
The tooltip will be show on the control on the childform.

Have you tried my code to see if the problem persists in your do that in
your own code.
Also can you post a solution sample for us to reproduce the problem?
You may try to attach in the newsgroup.
