[RESOLVED] mouse over text

[vincey92]

is there an easy way (in visual basic language) to display some text when you put your mouse over a button - like the help text that appears in other windows applications. like when you put your mouse over button 1 a little message appears at the mouse saying "Refresh".
thanks...

Set the ToolTip property/attribute.

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" ToolTip="Refresh"/>

thanks
do you have the code in vb language?

[brucevde]

If the button is declared on the aspx page the code would simply be

Me.Button1.ToolTip = "Refresh"

awesome thanks

but which event do i put that code in?

You should add that text in the ASP.Net page itself rather than a code behind (since it's content oriented). If the link / button is dynamically generated then add them during the Page Load event.

If your dynamic links are generated in an event then add the ToolTip there instead of Page Load.

Fyi, text that appears when you hover are title attributes in html. The ToolTrip will automatically be renamed title when the html is generated. The alt attribute will sometimes do this but it wasn't meant to.
