Hi all,
I'm using the Report Control to display contact activity records. The Record.PreviewText object is loaded with the activity notes. I have the MaxPreviewLines = 1.

When the user views the list and they move the mouse over the records and the preview text, ALL of the activity notes is displayed in a tooltip. This can amount to many lines. It is very annoying as the user moves the mouse over the records and the tooltips are popping up.

How can I limit the amount of lines displayed in the tooltip?
Regards,
Mark Stuart

There may be a better way, but maybe you could just limit the amount of text that you add to the preview?

For limiting to one paragraph:


If LenB(ActivityRecords) <> 0 then
   Record.PreviewText = Split(ActivityRecords, vbNewline)(0)
End If
