Tool tip for controls
Does anyone know if there is a way to supply a tool tip for an excel
control on a worksheet. The option is not available as it is in a Visual Basic control. Any workarounds or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for your time. Mark P.S. I am not experienced with windows handles so if you suggest something along those lines, it will have to be detailed. |

Tool tip for controls
Crude, perhaps, but a suggestion: I have been able to show and hide a
userform or a label or other control using the MouseMove events of a button and a label on a worksheet. I place and size one label so that the label just surrounds the button placed upon it. If I use a label to display the tool tip, I place a second label to serve as the tooltip window. The button MouseMove event shows the "tooltip" and the surrounding label MouseMove event hides the "tooltip." Additional logic and perhaps a timer could be used to further refine the timing of the display of the tooltip control or dialog. If this is too clunky, can you use the Excel status bar or a central label control to display useful tips for the user, tiggered by GotFocus or MouseMove events on controls?
