carriage returns in tooltiptext?

For the sake of improved formatting, is it possible to put carriage returns in tooltiptext strings?

I'v tried but failed :(

never seen that done to the standard tooltip text.

no you cant with regular coding
you either need to look into some APIS (dont know if there is any)

or make your own tooltiptext

make a form, no borders, etch
and send text to this form when you want tooltiptext
from there your not limited to what you want it to look like

there was an activex control that did this
crap i forgot what it was called, pretty much did what i described above (with colours and stuff )

Deborah Cooper wrote an article at ElementK for their Inside Visual Basic newsletter that does this with tool tips.

Check out http://www.elementkjournals.com/ivb/0105/ivb0151.htm for the details.

There is an improved version she put out, but it's a subscriber-only article...I can't find any info on whether the code is sharable or not...I'll keep looking.

Hopet this helps!

Thanks Rockies1!
