    Multi-line tool tips SOLVED

    Hi,

    Does anybody know how to create a tool tip with multiple lines (or embedded carriage returns)?. Similar to that in windows explorer if you hold your mouse over an excel spreadsheet (for example) you get a tooltip with four lines in it.

    Thanks in advance,
    DJ

    Just use the newline character \n.
    Code:
    toolTip1.SetToolTip(button1, "I'm a multiline tooltip \nI'm on the second line");

    Hi,

    Thanks. Just as a point for those who are interested; using the "Tooltip on Tooltip1" property in the property dialog box does not work!!!

    Thanks,
    DJ
