Is there a way to integrate Screen tip into the standard win forms tool bar. Is there a way to I can replace the old school yellow tooltip that winforms provides?

Would appreciate any insight

Many thanks

Is it possible to create one screentipdata and assign to mutlple controls on a form?  I’m using elegant ribbon 4.1 and have  a ScreenTip control dropped on my form (ScreenTip1).  I tried this but it does not work.


 


dim nInfo as Elegant.Ui.ScreenTipData


with nInfo

Each screen tip has a CanExtend method that takes an object and returns true if the screen tip can be used for the object or false otherwise. For example

bool bScreenTipIsSupported = screenTip1.CanExtend(button1);
The method checks if the object derived from System.Windows.Forms.Control. It is not the case for toolbar items. So this feature is not supported. We will look into whether it is difficult or not to extend this implementation.
