Hi
Is there a way of using xtremesuitecontrols to set the globally the appearance of the tooltip style.
In the ReportControl you can set this by using the contextstyle.style
In other controls the tooltips look old hat.

Hi Mark,
You have it. Exactly. That is my point. We set contextstyle and then at some point the default tooltips show in yellow. It shows inconsistency in our applications. I know I can set the tooltip manually and overcome this but why should that be necessary.
Here's the challenge Mark. Can you think of a way in your code of enforcing the contextstyle to stop the default being visible?
Regards

Hi, Boris - I made experimental version follow this idea - please test and post your feedback before I will update SVN
https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/BetaOCX/CalendarBeta13-2.rar - https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/BetaOCX/CalendarBeta13-2.rar
You can comment your function
Private Sub ReportControl1_GetToolTipInfo(ByVal toolTipInfo As XtremeReportControl.IReportToolTipInfo)
and test internal support instead
If you comment this flag
ReportControl1.PaintManager.CleanTooltip = True
- tooltip will show markup source ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

Hi Mark,
I don't understand what this is supposed to do. I can't see anything different. I may be having a bad day of course lol!!! Can you make it a little clearer for me how to test this.
Sorry.

Mark You've cracked it!!!!
 I downloaded the control again and it worked fine.
Your patience has paid dividends and it looks just as it should.... professional.
Can you ask your colleagues to address the tooltips on the Xtreme Suite controls generally. Then they can have a few stars too!
 Best regards

Good. Why VB6 IDE change "skin" while running your sample? You can even see it on my snapshot. ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |

Now that's a good question. I don't know the actual answer but I think that the SkinFramework must look for Thunderform class and look for parent object and skin down through child windows?????

No - I already run compiled exe in Windows Explorer - it keep original style - not like VB6 IDE. But if user create own container app to run different small exe inside (e.g. on some button click or menu item)? Btw - did you see my formula tooltip shapshot I add in prev post? ------------- Mark Doubson, Ph.D. |
