.NET Forum / Languages / C# / January 2008BUG: C# 2008 Express changed the tooltip color in all Vista's wind
I have installed C# 2008 Express edition in Windows Vista, and I found this huge bug: the tooltip shown to the up corner of a window has the old yellow style color. Minimize, Maximize, Close buttons show a yellow tooltip in Explorer and all other programs; instead buttons, system tray icons and other UI elements show Vista grey style tooltip. It seems VS2008 Express has changed some Vista shell dll files.

This is the tooltip shows in Vista's Windows Explorer: http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9153/tooltipbugrd0.jpg Make sure your main program code (usually program.cs) has a line: Application.EnableVisualStyles(); > I have installed C# 2008 Express edition in Windows Vista, and I > found this huge bug: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Vista grey style tooltip. > It seems VS2008 Express has changed some Vista shell dll files. > Make sure your main program code (usually program.cs) has a line: > > Application.EnableVisualStyles(); you didn't understand me! C# 2008 Express has changed the OS tooltip style: http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9153/tooltipbugrd0.jpg Sorry. I understand now, and it is the same for me. Are you sure it was different prior to installing C# Express 2008? > > Make sure your main program code (usually program.cs) has a line: > > > > Application.EnableVisualStyles(); > > you didn't understand me!

Willy. After I posted, I looked on my wife's computer, and it behaves the same. C#, express or otherwise, is that last thing she needs on her computer... > > Sorry.

Yep, the top level Window Frames are handled by the DWM, who draws the tooltip using the settings (color, font and weight) from the current "Window Color Appearance" - "Classic appearance properties/advanced" settings. Willy. > Sorry. I understand now, and it is the same for me. Are you sure it was > different prior to installing C# Express 2008? yes, I'm sure. I found that when I went to .net 3 that Windows Vistas mouseoevr shades the button a very light color. This was a disaster as my text was all white ! I just recoloured my text black and everything is fine now. If your program uses key presses beware of the openfiledialog as this doesnt return focus to the main windows when it closes !
