eXontrol Software - ListBar ActiveX, NET Control

Use the ShowToolTip method to display a custom tooltip. Use the ToolTipPopDelay property specifies the period in ms of time the ToolTip remains visible if the mouse pointer is stationary within a control. Use the ToolTipFont property to change the tooltip's font. Use the Background(exToolTipAppearance) property indicates the visual appearance of the borders of the tooltips. Use the Background(exToolTipBackColor) property indicates the tooltip's background color. Use the Background(exToolTipForeColor) property indicates the tooltip's foreground color. The ShowToolTip method has no effect if the ToolTip and Title parameters are empty.

The Alignment parameter can be one of the followings:

0 - exTopLeft
1 - exTopRight
2 - exBottomLeft
3 - exBottomRight
0x10 - exCenter
0x11 - exCenterLeft
0x12 - exCenterRight
0x13 - exCenterTop
0x14 - exCenterBottom

Use numeric values as strings for X and Y parameters, to move the tooltip window relative to the position of the cursor. For instance, ShowToolTp("text",,,"11","12"), means that the tooltip window is moved 11 pixels on the X axis, and 12 pixels on the Y axis, before showing it in the default position. In this case the X and Y parameters MUST be passed as strings not as LONG values.

The following VB sample displays ( as tooltip ) the identifier of the anchor element from the cursor:

Private Sub ListBar1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    With ListBar1
        .ShowToolTip .AnchorFromPoint(-1, -1)
    End With
End Sub

The following VB.NET sample displays ( as tooltip ) the identifier of the anchor element from the cursor:

Private Sub AxListBar1_MouseMoveEvent(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As AxEXLISTBARLib._IListBarEvents_MouseMoveEvent) Handles AxListBar1.MouseMoveEvent
    With AxListBar1
        .ShowToolTip(.get_AnchorFromPoint(-1, -1))
    End With
End Sub

The following C# sample displays ( as tooltip ) the identifier of the anchor element from the cursor:

private void axListBar1_MouseMoveEvent(object sender, AxEXLISTBARLib._IListBarEvents_MouseMoveEvent e)
{
    axListBar1.ShowToolTip(axListBar1.get_AnchorFromPoint(-1, -1));
}

The following C++ sample displays ( as tooltip ) the identifier of the anchor element from the cursor:

void OnMouseMoveListBar1(short Button, short Shift, long X, long Y) 
{
	COleVariant vtEmpty; V_VT( &vtEmpty ) = VT_ERROR;
	m_listBar.ShowToolTip( m_listBar.GetAnchorFromPoint( -1, -1 ), vtEmpty, vtEmpty, vtEmpty );
}

The following VFP sample displays ( as tooltip ) the identifier of the anchor element from the cursor:

*** ActiveX Control Event ***
LPARAMETERS button, shift, x, y
