    Question ToolTipText Question

    Hmmm.. Guys... Is there a way I can make the tooltip have a line feed instead of getting something like this:

    Hello || My name is Tec-Nico

    Intead I want it to appear like:

    Hello
    My name is Tec-Nico

    So... Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks in advance
    We miss you, friend... Rest in Peace, we will take care of the rest of it.

    Not in traditional way (Command1.ToolTipText = "hello" & vbNewLine & "world"), but you can create a multiline textbox (or label but with label set borderstyle to fixed single, autosize to true), set it's appearance to flat and backcolor to &H80000018& (tooltip color) and make it act as a tooltiptext. Problem with label is it isn't an object so objects (commandbutton, textbox, etc) will be ontop of the label. There are ways around this problem of course.

    I know what you mean, Dmitri K... I have done it before, but I just wanted to know if it could be done with the normal Tooltip... Yet, I am going to download the control provided by James, Well, well, well... Thanks James

    James, Did you know every title you post is "Well?" Just something I noticed.
