Tooltip in a Custom Component

Damian · Post by **Damian** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 2:31 am

Good morning,

I have built a custom component to display generated maps. I extended the StiView class.

How can i set a text and an image for those big tooltips in the designer?

Is it possible to get a reference the dataAdapterService (we also have a custom one) in the custom component? I only could get the Report.Dictionary.Databases but couldn't find the AdapterService.

Report.Dictionary.DataSources[0].GetDataAdapter()

Hello,

You can only add a description of the component in SuperToolTip without an image. To do this you need to add in the localization text in the language file. Example:

My ToolTip ...

Thank you.

I found a way to add an image to the supertooltip.

declare this attribute to MyCustomComponent class

[StiSuperToolTipBitmap(typeof(MyCustomComponent), "MyCustomComponent.MyImage32.PNG")]
