| | ToolTip like Control I have a ContextMenuStrip, and I would like to present the user with a tooltip like control when they press a certain button on my strip. I basically just need the user to enter some notes about an item is a list view that they right-clicked on. I don't want to display a form because I'm looking for a "cool" way to enter notes about the item, and a form just seems too ghetto. Is there a way for a user to enter text into a tooltip? i've set the iballoon property to true. thanks. |

| | Re: ToolTip like Control You cannot let a user enter info in a tooltip. What you could do is show a form without titlebar and put a textbox of the same size in it. rg, Eric "Tom" <johnthompson1@xxxxxx> schreef in bericht news:BEBA809E-298F-4D09-8234-AC0418A37B92@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a ContextMenuStrip, and I would like to present the user with a >tooltip like control when they press a certain button on my strip.

| | Re: ToolTip like Control You would have to learn to code using JavaScript to put this task together and simulate your own ToolTip --or-- you need to change to a different page model like WPF/Silverlight. I would check out jQuery (JavaScript) which Microsoft just decided to support in VS2008 and integrate with Ajax.
