    ToolTipText in Usercontrol

    Hello everybody,

    I've found an interesting piece of code for creating a button. It's an ActiveX project. The button is created from scratch. That means that no other controls are used on the UserControl. Now I would like to have a tooltiptext. When I move over the control at runtime, I want a tooltiptext to be displayed. Can anybody tell me how to do that when creating a control from scratch?

    Thnx a lot

    The usercontrol should already have a ToolTipText property when you put it on the form.

    That's correct, but when I move the mouse over the control, it won't display the Tooltiptext.

    Are you using any kind of MouseLeave simulation that uses the SetCapture/GetCapture/RealeaseCapture API's? Because its a known issue that tooltips stop working when you use them.
