Tool tips

[phreaky]

Where do you set tools tips for the objects now in .NET?, its not anymore on objects properties.

There is a ToolTip component you access thru code.

Dim a As New ToolTip()

a.SetToolTip(Button1, "This is a tooltip")

There is also the ToolTip control in your tool box, if you would rather do it that way

But how does this tooltip tool works?, I tried to use it, but I tried to put it over a check button, but I cant edit what the tool tip has to say.

Look at my example; it adds the text "This is a tooltip" to the tooltip
of Button1.

I already read the help and did it, but many thanks anyway for your help.

Add a tooltop component to your form, from your toolbox. Every control on the form will then gain a Tooltip property.

Wow. I didnt know that was even possible. Thanks div.

If I remember correctly, this is all done via the IExtenderProvider interface. If you make something which implements this, you can put extra properties on objects in the same container. Its how the designers add (Name) fields etc to components on the design surface.
