I don't know whether I am asking right question ,, but I thought is this possible to make picture box as tooltip for Listbox .. each listbox item will have different picturebox tooltip ..
On Local Error Resume Next: If Not Empty Is Nothing Then Do While Null: ReDim i(True To False) As Currency: Loop: Else Debug.Assert CCur(CLng(CInt(CBool(False Imp True Xor False Eqv True)))): Stop: On Local Error GoTo 0
Thanks Sir, My question is about picturebox as tooltip not tooltip text .. what I mean by picturebox as container for an image and text to show as tooltip on listbox items
It might help if you describe a few things -
- How long it will be visible ? EG Should it be visible all the time the mouse is hovering over an entry in the Listbox, or does it disappear after a certain time.
- What size will it be ?
- Will it be the same size every time ? If not then give the min and max size
- What rules do you want for where it will be positioned relative to the entry in the Listbox, and what do you desire when there ain't room in the default position
I assume that response time will be important (user does not want to wait too long to see the Tooltip).
Can you pre-prepare each tooltip ?
They could perhaps be created and stored into a control array of pictureboxes whilst the Form is loading, or whilst the listbox is being populated.
The control array could be located off screen (Left property say -9999)
Then when the user mouses over a listbox line, the program will know which picturbox to move to the desired tooltip position.
Picureboxes can be 'printed' to with 98% of the print to paper commands. So anything that can be done with native VB6 print commands, can be used to place image and text into each picturebox.
The above is not your complete solution (yet), but I feel needs addressing (answering) before you go much further.
Then VB's tooltip capabilities won't be enough. You'll need to use a ToolTip UserControl or Class like the ones shown here or here in conjunction with the code linked to in post #2.

will you please provide me a such code to achieve this
will you please provide me a such code to achieve this
I will have a bash.
Download this in the meantime, and get familiar with it. Also use it to provide feedback with any extra details that you may not have supplied us. http://www.codeguru.com/vb/controls/...stBox-Item.htm
The code looks very similar to Bonnie's
I will use it as a starting point for my picturebox enhancements

brother ... this I already know about .. again I say my question is about custom tooltip .. picturebox as container for Image as well text [say label or textbox] to display as a tooltip on listbox items ...
I also know about balloon type tooltip
I mean this
I was just sending the code that I am using as a starting point.
I am now enhancing it to demonstrate some of the concept I described above.
You should try harder to provide ALL the details, rather than they be revealed as we go a long.
EG Will the number of entries in the list be known at design time, or is it dynamic ?
Have you used VB6's print commands ?
You could be studying up on that, so that you will be able to code the print instructions that will send text and image to the pictureboxes.
The attached is just to demonstrate the use of a picturbox control array.
With printing to the individual pictureboxes, during Form_Load
The pictureboxes are moved out of sight (-9999)
The pictureboxes are moved to the right when the matching Index in the Listbox is moused over.
I have NOT fine tuned the postioning of the picturebox (tooltip). That can be done later.
I have NOT demonstrated 'printing' an image in to the Picturebox. That can be done later.
The number of pictureboxes was pre-loaded in the IDE. That can be done dynamically (by code) later if you describe such a need (If you do not know the number of listbox items at design time)

Reason: Forum's Attachment dialog is NOT IDIOT PROOF
Thanks Bobbles , the is some how exactly the same as I want but there are few unrelated things like picTT is outside of listbox , it should have been the way as the normal TT is .. exactly near the mouse cursor as the mouse cursor moves the TT also moves ...
The attached is now similar to what you want.
It will need modification to meet your needs.
I just checked back to one of your earlier threads, where I got extremely angry.
I would have hoped that you would have learned from that thread, that -
- Providing insufficient information
- Ignoring questions asked by us
- Feeding out little bits of information
(- Possibly changing the information )
can be extremely frustrating.
I am not saying that you are guilty of ALL of that YET.
You did not answer my question regarding knowledge of number of items.
In the absence of your answer, I have included code to create the extra pictureboxes dynamically (out of thin air).
Please take extra care to avoid casual/vague attention to details, as my tolerance will be one point above zero.
Dear Bro. I never provided insufficient information when I need any sort of help .. I always appreciate help provided by masters here .. if some time by any means something happen like I did not answer any question asked by master related to my request only then I am extremely sorry for that.
Ok, there is a bug in the sample provided by you .. tooltip pic is stuck on one place only [static]
Read back over this thread, and you will see that I have asked more questions than you have answered.
See my post 4
EG I asked for your rules regarding positioning of the ToolTip
If you are not recognizing that you are way too casual and vague with your posts, then I cannot risk what happened to me last time (I got unbelievably angry, and I was lucky not have a 71 year old heart attack).
So I will politely exit this thread, and leave it to other younger/healthier members to finish assisting you.
I can't imagine anything better than the one from PSC.
Anything I post is an example only and is not intended to be the only solution, the total solution nor the final solution to your request nor do I claim that it is. If you find it useful then it is entirely up to you to make whatever changes necessary you feel are adequate for your purposes.
