View Full Version : Unwanted tooltips\pop-ups in tree object

I have a weird problem, but I think I'm a magnet for these type things.

I built a folder\web browser like XP Explorer.exe.

The tree loads perfectly. But when you mouse over some of the nodes I get a pop-up tooltip that contains the node text. It only happens on certain nodes, but many of them. Yet mouse over other nodes and all is fine.

Each node of the tree contains the folder or drive text, and data contains folder path. When you double click a node it populates the sub-folders of that node\folder.

Anyone seen this before, and\or have a solution to stop it from happening? I can't seem to find a center point or pattern to guide me to a solution.

Other then that it seems error free.
I was going to post it here as a folder\web browser example, but not with that going on. :)

That is typical behaviour for tree lists. the tooltip will only show for items that do not fit the width of the tree object. So if the item text is wider than the tree object, then the tooltip will display the full text. I don't see why this would be a problem.

Now that you explained it to me it's not a problem.
I never noticed this before in anything else, otherwise I would have just blown it off.

Thanks, all is good then :)

I just didn't want to post an example that may have had some kind of error.

The reason I never noticed before could be that I always turn tooltips off in everything I use.
