[RESOLVED] [2005] Tabcontrol Q

[Bongo]

Greetings,

is there a way to give different messages during the MouseMove event depending of the tab the mous is moving over.

e.g. I have a tabControl with 3 tabs. what I like to achive is the following.

If the mouse is over the tab1 ther should a short text be displayed what is possible to do on this tab. same for the other tabs.

thx in advance

I'd suggest setting the ToolTipText of each TabPage.

I'd suggest setting the ToolTipText of each TabPage.

Sorry jmcilhinney, but this works only if the tab is selected. The displaying of the text is not a problem.

What i try is: during the move over the different tabs the discription for each tab is displayed, so the user know what each tab is containing.

Maybe during my lack of english i have not properly discribed what i want.

On a Tabcontroll i have 3 Tabs
By default the first TabPage is displayed.
If the User is now moving the mouse over the second tab the mousemove event should reconice that he is now over Tab2 and so on.

in pseudocode i would define the solution like

on TabControll_MouseMove
if mouse is over tab1 then display text1
if mouse is over tab2 then display text2
if mouse is over tab3 then display text3

but how do i know over which tab the mouse is???

Follow the advice I have already provided. The ToolTipText fpr a TabPage is displayed when you mouse over the tab, whether that page is selected or not.
