ControlTipText Questions
Is it possible to change the format of the text displayed for a Control Tip?
Basically, I would like to control the font, font color, background color, how wide the ControlTipText window is (maybe with a wordwrap-like method). Also, I want to change the delay for how long it takes for the text to show up. Is this possible? Thanks, Rich |

ControlTipText Questions
Assume you mean tooltips on menus:
Not if you use built in capabilities I wouldn't think. The text is a property - there is no object. The format of a control tip is a windows setting (it also affects the formatting of comments). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "GSpline" wrote in message ...

Think this answered my question. I have some labels & buttons that I wanted
to have ToolTips appear for but wanted to be able to change the delay for these ToolTips to appear, as well as how these ToolTips looked.

It now sounds like you are talking about control tips on MSForms 2.0
controls, but I don't think the answer is significantly different. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "GSpline" wrote in message ... Think this answered my question.

.. . . significantly different except that you could use the mouseover event
to put up your own control that looks like and behaves like a control tip. The challenge would be detecting movement off the control, so I believe the common approach is to put one control on top if a slightly larger control and use the mouseover with a boolean flag variable to drop the simulated control tip. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "GSpline" wrote in message ...
