Infragistics - WINTOOLTIPMANGER
WinToolTipManager adds an extender property called "UltraToolTip" to any control. The UltraToolTip property allows for a control to be managed by the WinToolTipManager. This allows a tooltip to automatically display when the mouse hovers over the control.
1. Namespaces Used :
using Infragistics.Win;
using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolTip;
2. Place an UltraToolTipManager component on the Form
3. In order to set up WinToolTip properties, you must first get the ToolTipInfo for the control. Do this using the GetUltraToolTip method of the WinToolTipManager. Place the following code in the Form_Load event.
// Get the ToolTipInfo for TextBox1
UltraToolTipInfo toolTipInfo =
this.ultraToolTipManager1.GetUltraToolTip(this.textBox1);
4. Set the ToolTipText
// Set the ToolTipText.
toolTipInfo.ToolTipText = "Enter some text here.";
5. Set optional properties
// Set the ToolTipTitle
toolTipInfo.ToolTipTitle = "This is textBox1";
// Apply an image
toolTipInfo.ToolTipImage = ToolTipImage.Info;
// Apply an appearance
toolTipInfo.Appearance.BackColor = Color.White;
toolTipInfo.Appearance.BackColor2 = Color.Chartreuse;
toolTipInfo.Appearance.BackGradientStyle = GradientStyle.Circular;
toolTipInfo.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.Black;
// Apply an appearance to the Title.
toolTipInfo.ToolTipTitleAppearance.ForeColor = Color.Red;
6. Run the application
Run the application and hover the mouse over the TextBox. The WinToolTip will display after a delay specified by the InitialDelay property of the WinToolTipManager (half a second by default).
