Setting pane tab button tooltip

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I need to get a project working with a series of docked panes which can be switched between using tabs.
Due to spacing considerations the tabs should be identifiable by icon only, i.e. with out any text on the tab, however it would be very useful if I could set tooltip text on the tab button to help identify the pane.

I can sort of manage this as the pane property TabCaption overrides the pane Title property but not the tooltip, so if I set

panelayersviewer.Title = "Layers Viewer"
panelayersviewer.TabCaption = " "

I get a tab caption consisting of one space and the tooltip "Layers Viewer", the space is almost not noticeable but I'd rather be without it, is there any way to set the tooltip independent of  the Title and TabCaption properties? Also I am sort of worried that the fact the TabCaption is not carried to the tab tooltip is an oversight of the newly added TabCaption property and could regress.

I am using v13.2 codejock in VB6 if that is any use.

How should I do this and will V14 help me here?

Thanks
