WinForms › Power Tab Strip › ToolTipConfiguration

ToolTipConfiguration

class.NET 6 / 8 / 10.NET Framework 4.8Binarymission.WinForms.Controls.TabControls

The look and timing of the tooltips a BinaryPowerTabStrip shows over its headers – the settings of a ToolTip, held where the designer can edit them.

public class ToolTipConfiguration

Remarks

Use the strip's BinaryPowerTabStrip.ToolTipConfiguration. The settings are copied onto the strip's tooltip each time it is shown, so a change takes effect at the next tooltip. The text comes from each page's BinaryPowerTabPage.ToolTipText.

Examples

tabs.ToolTipConfiguration = new ToolTipConfiguration
{
    IsBalloon = true,
    ToolTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Info,
    ToolTipTitle = "Customer account",
    InitialDelay = 250,
    AutoPopDelay = 8000
};

Properties

AutoPopDelay

public int AutoPopDelay

Gets or sets how long a tooltip stays up while the pointer rests on the header.

Value: The time in milliseconds. The default is 5000.

AutomaticDelay

public int AutomaticDelay

Gets or sets a single delay from which a ToolTip derives its other delays.

Value: The delay in milliseconds. The default is 500.

Remarks

It is applied first, and AutoPopDelay, InitialDelay and ReshowDelay are then applied over the values it derives, so in practice those three decide the timing.

BackColor

public Color BackColor

Gets or sets the tooltip's background colour.

Value: The default is SystemColors.Info.

ForeColor

public Color ForeColor

Gets or sets the colour of the tooltip's text.

Value: The default is SystemColors.WindowText.

InitialDelay

public int InitialDelay

Gets or sets how long the pointer must rest on a header before its tooltip appears.

Value: The time in milliseconds. The default is 500.

IsBalloon

public bool IsBalloon

Gets or sets whether the tooltip is drawn as a speech balloon rather than a plain rectangle.

Value: The default is false.

Remarks

A plain tooltip is shown 20 logical pixels below the pointer; a balloon points at it.

ReshowDelay

public int ReshowDelay

Gets or sets how long the next tooltip waits to appear when the pointer moves to another header while one is showing.

Value: The time in milliseconds. The default is 100.

StripAmpersands

public bool StripAmpersands

Gets or sets whether an ampersand in the tooltip text is removed rather than drawn as an underline under the character after it.
