I can't seem to find the property that holds the tooltip displayed by the TabList button. The tooltip text changes when the overall style of the control is changed - so its there somewhere!!! Can someone give me a hint please...
I have a working application, with the style set to VisualStudio 2005 (since I like that myself), but this means the tooltip displayed is "Files" - where obviously I'd like to show something else, and still keep the overall style setting
The tool tip is a resource string in the Win assembly. See the following help article for information on how to customize these resource strings: http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/NET/2008.2/CLR2.0/html/Win_Customizing_Assembly_Resource_Strings.html. You will want to customize the 'TabManagerTabListButton' resource string.
Thanks, I got it working.
Err, after looking over the documentation on the resource strings, might I suggest a change to the documentation - include a column for the NAME of the control/object that each resource string is used by - even if its just the abstract class of a group of controls. As the documentation stands now, its impossible to find out what i was after then without being told explicitly - as I first went to the WinTabbedMDI resource strings thinking thats where I'd find stuff related to the UltraWinTabMDI control...
OR, have a resources dictionary object thats a property of the respective control, where I can interrogate the list to a) find the text I'm looking for (that is displayed by default), and by inference work out the resource string/key I need to change. Ideally, the same dictionary strings can be updated directly instead of having to instantiate exactly the right Resources.Customizer object
