TreeViewNode ToolTip

[Boni]

Dear all,
is it possible to assign a tooltip to a .NET treeview node?
Thank you for your time.

I don't think you can directly assign tooltip info to individual nodes. So
you will have to create a class that inherits TreeViewNode class. This child
class will have a variable for the ToolTip(string). You will need to create
these specialised nodes and add them to your treeview.

Hope this helps.

Here is some sample code

///
Public Class tvwTooltip
Inherits TreeNode

Public tvwToolTip As String

Sub New()
MyBase.New()

End Sub
End Class


'This goes in your form where you are adding the nodes to the treeview
Dim tvwNode As tvwTooltip

tvwNode = New tvwTooltip
tvwNode.tvwToolTip = "Parent Node"
tvwNode.Text = "Parent"
Me.TreeView1.Nodes.Add(tvwNode)
\\\

Thanks Herfried,
It worked.
I will allow me to make a .NET feature request. In general I am impressed
how powerfull .NET classes are (and how much more productive the .NET
programming is relative to native coding), but sometimes I am wondering that
such simple things are not there. I.e. why not just provide tooltip propery
for all Forms controls? Or why not make a "build-in" checkbox column type
for datagrids and listviews?
In this case no "workaround" would be needed.


Thanky you very much for all your answers to my posts, you help me very much
all the time.
With best regards,

In .NET 2.0 'TreeNode' will have a 'ToolTipText' property.
