Tool Tip text

[FuzZ]

Is it possible to have a new line on a ListView's tool tip text ?? I've tried vbCrLf, and vbNewLine, neither work. If anyone knows how, I sure would appreciate it

thanks for any *help* in advance.

What a useless post ^

Anyhow I was wondering how you can add a tooltiptext to and item that your about to add or just have? Referring to the to battle.net when you add a user if they join as well as when you enter channel.

Code Select Expand


With frmBNet.lstNicks.ListItems(.ListItems.Count)
               .ToolTipText = "Ping: " & sPing & " Flags: " & sFlags


That's in my AddNick function.

That was not useless, he told him there is a way but he forgot. Therefor letting him know that there is a way.

But that was useless, just like mine!

The link I gave will only work if you store the stuff you want in your tooltip in a variable some where. AFAIK, at this point in time.

Draw the list yourself, then add your own tooltip which can support multiple lines

Search it up google , as im at work at the moment and cannot provide you with the code.

But it is there (Multi-Line ToolTips)

Can't you add some spaces to make it multi-line?

I don't really know a whole lot, or much about drawing objects.. But I will look into it..

Yes folks, it was a quick Google search to the first item of the query, "Multi-Line Tooltips in Visual Basic."

The URL is:

It has come to my attention (through reading other Google results) that this may not implicitly work for ListBox.  I suggest figuring out where the mouse is and displaying the view accordingly.[/edit]

If you feel like converting C++ to VB, I suggest http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/controls/listview/tooltiptitletip/article.php/c4161/ .  That was on a modified query, appending "list view" to the above query.[/edit]

I don't know if this can possibly help, but to do multiline in Java Swing you have to do a lot of extra work extending and reimplementing some methods.  You can find the code here:

I have *no idea* if this has *any* relevence to Visual Basic, but who knows?
