ControlTipText

[bigal.nz]

Hi All,

I have a datasheet view and wanted to display a little more information about the current record the mouse is over.

I was going to try doing this with controltiptext/hover but I think after some research maybe this only applies to buttons etc?

Can anyone clarify if this is possible?

Cheers

Al

You can use control tip text with text boxes, labels, buttons etc.

If you hover over the control, the control tip text pops up after a short delay

Another alternative is to use the mouse move event to display text in a box elsewhere in the form
When the mouse moves away from the control, the text disappears
