Control array of Woka Custom Tooltips Problem

Custom tooltips from Woka,

Hi all,

Anyone have experience working with Woka Custom tooltips Program ?
I'm facing a problem that the tooltip could not work with control array.
Can anyone guide me a solution ?


Thanks a million :-)

What is the specific code you are using that is blowing up on you?

I see you replied to his code bank thread so he should be replying soon but if its his original code then perhaps some modification will be needed to accomodate this.

The tips are added to a collection of tips but what part are you having trouble with setting the tip to the control?

Wouldnt you just pass the control array item to the tooltip collection?

mobjTips.Item(SomeControl).Text = SomeControl(index).Tag

Thanks all for replying my post and sorry for my late reply because time zone of my country is different >.<

I had tried a lot of way to accomplish the function i need. first at all, i introduce the thing i need. I create a lot of picturebox in runtime with control array cause it would make me easy to control the event. When the user mousemove the picturebox control the custom tooltips will pop up tooltip to display the information i need which retrieved from database. I tried to createtips when form loading but it would not allowed me to do so because the custom tooltips from woka seem could not support control array.

Thus, i try createtips in mousemove event. I set the mobjtips = new tooltips to recreate object. But still cannot..

For the collection suggestion from rob is a solution suggested from woka. But i have no idea when should add the collection. Is it modify the code from class and recreate the dll file ?

Well you need to populate the .Tag property of the picturebox for each array element. Then you can use code like I posted to create the tooltip text.

Thanks Rob..

Assume

Picture(0) as predefine control of picturebox.

I add the less of picturebox by Load Picture(i) 'i would be increased due with record retrieving from database.

After all picturebox have been loaded.
I will createtips on which control array of picturebox ?

vb Code:

mobjtips.add picturebox(?),tiptext,tooltipstyle

Is it i merely need to add one picture box to mobjtips tooltips object ?
If i do so, seem i need to mousemove to the control I added, the tips only would be show.

Because the demo provided by woka is using one listview. The tipstext show depend on listview item tag.

Can Rob correct me ?

So your saying that you have a picturebox with changing images or multiple pictureboxes?

My form has multiple picturebox with control array.
