ToolTips on Form with Tabs

[Edward P Sager]

Hello,

I have used Stephen Leban's Tooltips, found on
http://www.lebans.com/tooltip.htm#Bug Record Selectors and was wondering
if anyone knows how to stop the Tooltips from appearing with the contents of
ListBoxes.

Also, the form I have uses Tabs, and I am coming up with a problem with the
Tooltips, which I do not know how to get rid of: in Tab0, the opening,
first page of the Tabs, I get ToolTips for controls which are on other tabs.
The ToolTips (which become visible on Tab0 but which are for command buttons
on Tab1 through Tab5) are in the exact same place as the ToolTips on the
subsequent tabs.

I am wondering if I need to create new command buttons because the way I
originally created most of my command buttons was from copying and pasting.

Also, I cannot seem to get a Tooltip for an image in my Footer. But if I
put the image on the Tab, the Tooltip appears.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
edsager

You would have to modify the ToolTips class to NOT have it display a
Tooltip for every row of the ListBox.

The Tooltips for lightweight controls rely on the position of the
Control itself. You would have to ensure that no two controls occupy the
exact same position on each page of your TAB control.

There is a problem when you add Header/Footer section to your form. I
have coded a solution but am currently on vaction for several more weeks
and will not be posting the new version until then.
