 |
|
Well, I already know how to make tooltips appear on buttons, textboxes etc... but I need to know how to make them appear on ToolStripStatusLabel1. If I try doing:
| Code: | ToolTip1.SetToolTip(ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text, "blahblahblahb etc.....")
|
It says:
| Quote: | | Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.Control'. |
Since the ToolStripStatusLabel's source lies in System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripStatusLabel, Maby you can change the source? If not, how can I make it work?

| Code: | Public Sub SetToolTip ( _
control As Control, _
caption As String _
) |
ToolStripStatusLabel1 is what?
The first parameter is which control will activate this ToolTip, so instead it would be:
ToolTip1.SetToolTip(Button1, "This text pops up on button1...");
And Button1 is just a name, use it for whatever control name you are using.

Okay, so I have it like this:
| Code: | Private Sub VarLabel_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles VarLabel.MouseMove
ToolTip1.SetToolTip(VarLabel, "Variable")
End Sub |
but I still get the same error message. It doesn't get the VarLabel.
EDIT: One thing I didn't notice before was ToolTip on ToolTip1 at properties. It works fine on all other controls exept the Toolstrip one. It doesn't show there.
