    Resolved [RESOLVED] [2005] Component Creating

    Hi!

    I'm creating a new component, like a tip. Like when u stay a time hover a control he shows a rectangule with rounded corners where then will show a text. How can i draw that rounded rectangule, with later possibilities to change its properties in designtime, so it "becomes" my "working area"?

    The ToolTip already provides the facility to owner draw.

    You would have to use GDI to draw a box where you want it (if it is supposed to show up at the mouse you need to grab its x & y), there are many good tutorials, etc on the web if you google vb 2005 gdi...
