adding tooltip to dynamic controls [resolved]

I am adding a grid of command buttons to a user control. I am having trouble adding the tooltiptext at runtime. I have a tooltip control added to the user control form. Here is the code where I want to add it:

Code:

---

int x=0,y=0;
p_socks=new Button[iX,iY];
try
{
        for(x=0;x<iX;x++)
        {
                for(y=0;y<iY;y++)
                {
                        //set socket's back color to default backcolor;
                        //p_sockColor[x,y]=p_defaultColor;

                        //no need to create sockets again
                        if(socketsCreated)
                                return true;

                        //generate socket name
                        string butName=x.ToString()+(char)(y+'A');

                        //add new buttons
                        p_socks[x,y]=new Button();
                        this.Controls.Add(p_socks[x,y]);
                        p_socks[x,y].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(10, 10);
                        p_socks[x,y].Name = "butX"+x+"Y"+y;
                        p_socks[x,y].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(20, 20);
                        p_socks[x,y].TabIndex = 20;
                        p_socks[x,y].Click+=new System.EventHandler(sockClickHand);
                        //p_socks[x,y].tooltip????????????????
                }
        }
        this.Refresh();
        return true;
}

thx

You can't set the tooltip using some control property, you'll have to add a tooltip component to your usercontrol and call ToolTip1.SetToolTip(AndSoOn) for each of your buttons.

Great, thx. It worked.

Here is what the solution looks like:

Code:

---

for(x=0;x<p_xSockets;x++)
    for(y=0;y<p_ySockets;y++)
        toolTip1.SetToolTip(p_socks[x,y],p_sockRouting[x,y]);

That's right, now rep me you.... ;)
