Hello,

I use a ToolTip with the Show function e.g. toolTip1.Show("text", button1)
Is it possible to catch the Click Event when the user clicks on the ToolTip
window?
Or is it possible to add one or more buttons to the toolTip?

Thanks in Advance,
Robert Witter

Hi Robert,

The ToolTip class doesn't provide such a 'Click' event at present.

The ToolTip window  is a popup window. It's hard to get the handle of the
tooltip window, not to speak of to catch the Click event when the user
clicks on the ToolTip window.

As for adding one or more buttons to the ToolTip, the ToolTip class doesn't
exposed a method to do it, either.

If you really want to do them, I suggest that you implement a custom
ToolTip. I have searched the codeproject website and found a good sample of
a custom ToolTip, which is derived from the ToolStripDropDown class.

You can subscribe the Click event of the derived ToolStripDropDown class
and add one or more buttons in the CustomToolTip (which is a UserControl)
and then host the CustomToolTip in the derived ToolStripDropDown class.

For more information on the custom tooltip, you may refer to the following
link:

'Simple pop-up control'
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/simplepopup.asp

Note that since it is a 3rd party control, Microsoft won't guarantee its
reliability and stability.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
