Hello everyone.
I've just used the "ShowOverflowIndicator" for an ultraTextEditor, and I think it is a great feature. But I have a problem. My ultraTextEditor is placed at the right of my application, and when a user runs my application in fullscreen (which is in most cases..), the overflow indicator is placed almost at the end of the screen. The indicator shows fine, but not the tooltip window, because it has no room in the screen... Is there a way to change the direction of the tooltip? I mean, can I set the control to show the tooltip from the left of the indicator?
Thanks.
Hi,
Are you saying that the tooltip appears cut off by the edge of the screen? This should not happen. The tooltip should automatically move to fit within the bounds of the screen. If that's not happening, it's a bug and you should Submit an incident to Infragistics Developer Support so they can get it corrected.
Hello,
No, it does not appear cut off by the edge of the screen. What is happening is this: The application window is at the right of the screen, and the textbox bounds is 2-3 pixels from the right edge of the screen. Because of that, the tooltip does not have any room to be displayed to the right, and it appears as one long window from up to down, containing one letter for every line.
I've uploaded some images for you in order to see what I mean, and I used your post for text in the ultratextbox
This is what happens when the application window is not at the edge of the screen:

That's clearly a bug. The tooltip should automatically shift to the left to accomodate the text. You should Submit an incident to Infragistics Developer Support.
If possible, please include a small sample project demonstrating the problem so they can check it out and get it corrected.
Go to the "Ask for Help" or "online submission form" links.
By "small sample project", I just meant that the first thing Developer Support is going to need to do is duplicate the issue. You can simply explain the issue to them as you have done here and they will try to reproduce it. But it's often helpful if you create a new solution in Visual Studio and zip it up and include it. That way there is no confusion about property settings or other details that might get missed in a written explanation.
This seems like a pretty straightforward and simple issue to reprroduce, but you never know if there is some obscure factor or property setting that might make it difficult to reproduce.
I went to submit a new incident but I can not find how in the website that you gave me...
Where exactly should I go?
Ok... I will do that... And another thing that is annoying is that the tooltip can not format the text, with new lines, etc.
What do you mean by "a small project"? An actual project with code?
