Im having a small problem with the ReportControl, Im using long strings on every cell and the tooltip pops up (as normal) now the problem starts here, I use the mouse scrollwheel to navigate and the tooltip pops right under the cursor causing the focus to switch between the ReportControl and the Tooltip itself (im guessing here, but the main window loose focus for sure) instead of "forwarding" the events to the ReportControl.

Hi,

Do you see same with wndReportControl.EnableToolTips False ?

And what do you mean by: ... "forwarding" the events to the ReportControl

Would it be possible to upload small test project (should be VB, otherwise I can't test it myself)

I am experiencing the same thing as Cobein only I am seeing it happen on the treeview control. I have a client with really long treeview names. When the mouse hovers over a node with a name that extends past the width of the control, the tooltip naturally shows. When the user attempts to click the node, the tooltip actually receives the click event and nothing happens. I know it is the tooltip that is causing the problem because when the user clicks the node icon, the click event is received by the treeview as expected regardless of whether the node text extends past the width of the treeview.. Again, this only works on nodes where the tooltip shows. On nodes with names that do not extend past the width of the treeview control, there is no tooltip and the node processes the nodeclick event as expected.

I witnessed this on the client's Vista machine using the 13.4 version of the 32 bit controls over a VNC connection. The application was developed in VB6 sp6. If I can provide any more details, please let me know.

Sincerely,

John P. Coffey

If the tooltip click event fires, can you not just call the relevant click event from that one?

Hemesh, thank you for the suggestion. I cannot handle the tooltip event because the treeview does not provide that event. Even if the treeview had a tooltip event, it does not always mean that the user clicked or double-clicked the node. Again, thank you for providing the suggestion.

Sincerely,

I haven't been able to reproduce this (with the Treeview at least) in Win2k or Windows7 - do you have a sample project that reliably demonstrates the problem?
