I want to be able to mouse over text that is cut off in an element and then have the full text appear in a box similar to alt text in html (The text that appears when hovering the mouse over images).
Is there already a feature like this present? I haven't come across anything in my searches describing this.

I'm trying to enable the IME in WPF... which works for some textboxes but not the one I actually need it for. I do the following in XAML
InputMethod.IsInputMethodEnabled="True" InputMethod.PreferredImeConversionMode="Native" InputMethod.PreferredImeState="On"
I have a custom on-screen keyboard, the textbox has focus, and keys can be pushed on the screen and send the appropriate letter to the textbox. But when setting this above xaml to the textbox in this custom keyboard, the candidate window doesn't display at all, instead a strange small black control appears on the top left of the screen with a text box and a green arrow which has a caption of "Enter". Any text pressed on the keyboard goes to that small black control without showing the text, but after pressing enter, that text appears in my keyboard.
Ultimately I'm trying to incorporate simplified Chinese. Again, this works perfect on every other textbox but the one I actually need it for, being the custom onscreen keyboard.
Any thoughts? I'm really stuck with this.
Cheers.
UPDATE
This is the image I see, don't scroll down, it's the black little control with the green arrow.

So I've been looking for a different design of the IME, Notepad seems to show something different. But I eventually got the little black box control to work and display what I'm actually typing. Moved xaml to code behind and it started working.
On a WinForm with an extended borders, when i place a text on the glass area it doesn't appear right.
This is how the text looks like Status

how can i fix the text to appear normally?
Text in Winforms is rendered with an alpha of 0. Which makes it transparent when you draw on glass. So you'll see the background color, not the ForeColor you selected.
Drawing text on glass is troublesome, you can't get it easily anti-aliased correctly since the background of the text isn't well defined. Note how the screenshot shows how Windows addresses that problem, the text in the window caption has a milky-white background, thus ensuring that the anti-aliasing properly blends the letter into the background.
Which is what you need to do as well. You get text drawn like that with pinvoke, DrawThemeTextEx() with the DTT_GLOWSIZE flag option. Visit pinvoke.net for the required declarations or use this project. And don't forget to provide a fallback so this window still looks decent on older Windows versions. And newer versions, glass is no longer appropriate for Windows 8.
I'd like to scroll a mixture of text and pictures out to a debugging console written in WinForms.
For example, I might print a few lines of text, followed by a graph, followed by more lines of text, etc.
Is there some form of text box in WinForms that I can continuously append not only text, but also pictures or graphs?
You could consider a Rich Text Edit control. Here is a question whose answer links to some options. The question is old, so you may want to re-Google.
Open Source .NET Rich Text Editor UserControl with GUI all implemented
this is how Chrome finds you a word when you search for it:
1) select it in all the places it appears.
2) draw little line in the scroll bar wherever it found the searched word.
I have a canvas with scroll view around it, and I want to perform the same thing on it.
I gues that for enabling the selection i'll have to use only richtextboxes ?!? (hope not).
any third party or idea or anything will be highly appreciated
Without looking directly at the Chormium Project (which is open source and available at Chormium Homepage) I would imaging what is happening on this particular example is something following these steps:
Word Highlighting
Search the page source/content for the keyword using a simple regex
Insert that text into some form of a HTML container (either a span or a div) with a particular id
Use CSS to style that container to indicated the highlighting
Sidebar Highlighting
Use some algorithmic method to vertical position of the highlighted term
Add a indicator to the side bar in a some presentation layer/control that is transparent and below the scroll bar
It may be possible that there exists a 3rd party control that does these things, or it may be possible to leverage your work off of the existing work in the chromium project. However it is most likely not done using a RichTextBoxes nor simple text selection.
Hope I can make the question clear.
I am working on a paint like application where users can add different objects and also text. The way to add text is that we show a dialog where user can enter text and then that text is added to the draw area.
Now we want that text should be added in the same way as in Power Point. A user clicks any where in the draw area, a rectangular text entering area is shown, where user can enter text, format it, move the rectangle to move the text and then click outside to enter the text on the drawing area.
Since the paint event of the draw area is called and every object is added to the draw area using graphics and paint, what is the best way to add text using the interface as I explained above.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Your best option is to place a TextBox as a child control and that will allow the user to modify the text as required. Once they finish changing the text you then remove the text box and draw the string instead. If they click the text becaues they want to change it then you put the text box back again so they can edit it.
