    Resolved [RESOLVED] how to show tooltip when mouse is down

    i want to make a very simple task
    when the user move the slider, i want a tooltip showing him the value, i put in it.
    the problem is, the tooltip seems to show up only when the mouse isn't pressed, thus only when the user release the mouse,
    but i want the tooltip to show up, when the user press down the mouse and move the slider
    any idea will be wellcome

    EDIT: at the meantime i got an idea to showup a label only when the user moves the slider.

    Whatsup

    I think your EDIT is on track... I was going to suggest
    that you add a TextBox to "simulate" a ToolTip.

    Yes, you can make your own with a Label. I believe that there is also a custom ToolTip.ocx that one of our members developed. Do a search.

    Is VB consuming your life, and is that a bad thing??
