This has got to be something I just missed, but how do I add a tool tip to a label?
I saw something on the web about handling the mouse hover event, but how would I even handle it in code?
Add in your form the TooTip from the ToolBox than click once in your label and you'll see ToolTip in the property box.
Don't you just drop a ToolTip on a form, and then select the label and set the "Tooltip on Tooltip1" property? At least I remember doing it that way, or something very close to it.
Programmatically from MSDN:
System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip ToolTip1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip();
ToolTip1.SetToolTip(this.textBox1, "Hello");
Drop the TOOLTIP control onto your form. At that point, a ToolTip attribute appears in the Label's properties in the Designer (and is accessible in the code)
button = new Button();
button.Content = "Hover over me.";
tt = new ToolTip();
tt.Content = "Created with C#";
button.ToolTip = tt;
cv2.Children.Add(button);

I'm working with a .NET WinForms form. I'm adding a new Checkbox control to the layout, but I need its text and checkbox elements to align with existing controls. Is it possible to bump out my Checkbox's checkbox element from its text element? Or am I better off creating a separate Label control?
thanks
Try using the following settings for your CheckBox controls:
checkBox1.AutoSize = false;
checkBox1.CheckAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
checkBox1.TextAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
You will have to set the location and the size of the control yourself now.
Just create a custom (composite) control by adding a checkbox and a label. set the spacing as per need.
I have a Silverlight dialog and it contains an autocompletebox. When the dialog opens I would like the autocompletebox populated with text and the dialog opening with suggestions pre-populated without any user input.
Does anyone know how to do this? I am looking for a way to trigger the populating event.
Thanks.
Found the answer to this. You need to set the text in the underlining textbox, and when you do this the autocomplete dropdown box will display. You need to use the VisualTreeHelper to get the textbox.
DependencyObject o = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(autocompleteBox, 0);
o = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(o,0);
((TextBox)(o)).Text = "yourtexthere";
I am building a control where i put control like checkbox or radiobuttons, i would like know if is possible add a tooltip fore each built control.
Thank you.
See this post. The code is copied from there.
ToolTip nameTip = new ToolTip();
nameTip.Content = "Testing ToolTipService";
ToolTipService.SetToolTip(myCanvas, nameTip);
I have a DataGridView (dgv1) on my form. In a particular cell, I'd like for the user to be able to right-click and choose "COPY" to copy the contents of the cell to the clipboard. Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial or site that shows how to accomplish this in C#?
Thanks!
You can use ContextMenuStrip to accomplish this.
(Or ContextMenu for pre-VS2k5)
Excerpt from this article:
ContextMenuStrip mnu = new ContextMenuStrip();
ToolStripMenuItem mnuCopy = new ToolStripMenuItem("Copy");
ToolStripMenuItem mnuCut = new ToolStripMenuItem("Cut");
ToolStripMenuItem mnuPaste = new ToolStripMenuItem("Paste");
//Assign event handlers
mnuCopy.Click += new EventHandler(mnuCopy_Click);
mnuCut.Click += new EventHandler(mnuCut_Click);
mnuPaste.Click += new EventHandler(mnuPaste_Click);
//Add to main context menu
mnu.Items.AddRange(new ToolStripItem[] { mnuCopy, mnuCut, mnuPaste});
//Assign to datagridview
dataGridView1.ContextMenuStrip = mnu;
There is more information on the above link.
You might want to create a contextmenustrip for the COPY option when you right click.
And in the datagridview properties in the rightclick eventhandler, you link this contextmenustrip.
And on clicking copy, you have another function where you say Clipboard.settext(Datagriditem.value)
This link should help you figure out how to get the right click menu.
right click context menu for datagridview
And use the Clipboard.Setdataobject to get the data into clipboard.
I would like to create a combobox without any textbox and with a customizable icon in the button that opens the combobox. Something like this image (forget about the checkboxs)
I don't need you to post the solution, just some directions or resources so I can know how to begin this customization.
TIA
ContextMenuStrip which you manually display in the button's Click handler.
