Tooltips

[The Professor]

Hi,



I've set up tooltips for various of the Buttons on my Form, using the ControlTip Text property, and it works fine. However, it also works when the Button is disabled, and I'd rather it didn't. Is there anyway to prevent the ControlTip Text from being displayed when the Button is disabled?

Cheers

I did a little googling and found this thread link (see post #7)

Not much of a solution in my view, but I'm sure it should work.

Hi Orange,

Thanks for that.

I can see what he's saying there, but I'll have to think about whether it's worth bothering with - it maybe more hassle than it's worth in the long run.
Might just have to accept tooltips on disable buttons.

If you had a table of controls and their associated tooltips, You could assign the tooltip, and in your disable a control code, include setting that controltip to "". You could reassign the tooltip in the enabling code. Seems a lot of work, but seems logical if the need is there.

Good luck.

Thank you - I'll give it a try.
