Tooltip for mouseover of Image OLEObject (from Control Toolbar)
Howdy
I'm trying to show a simple tooltip over my images created from the Control Toolbar when the users mouse over this. I'm not having any luck finding code to modify to do this. Any ideas? Thanks matt |

Tooltip for mouseover of Image OLEObject (from Control Toolbar)
Matt: Unfortunately an image control has no built-in support for tooltips.
The only objects native to Excel that support tooltips (to my knowledge) are commandbars. You could conceivably use the MouseMove event procedure of your image control and create your own code to display a tooltip, but that would be pretty complex (you would need to track not only the position but the timing of cursor, detect a "pause" where the cursor stays steady (within a small tolerance) for a while, and then create and display a textframe with your tooltip text at that cursor location. Possible, but I would hate to have to be the one to code it!)

Thanks (delayed) for this K.
Might have to just show a text box at a set location instead... Cheers Matt "K Dales" wrote in message ... Matt: Unfortunately an image control has no built-in support for tooltips.
