For our product we are using the DisplayStyle Office2007 when ever the option is available. Give or take how it looks or reacts with other controls. Is there a way to change the display style of the overflow tooltip?
For instance this image shows that our ultraToolTip uses Office2007 DisplayStyle.
This one is not Office2007 DisplayStyle and I have no idea how to change it.
Which control are you talking about? It's impossible to answer your question without knowing which control this is and exactly which tooltip is showing and for what object.
Oops, never mind, I missed that you said UlraTextEditor in your post's title.
I tried this out by placing an UltraTextEditor on a form and setting it's DisplayStyle to Office2007 and then I turned on ShowOverflowIndicator. But my tooltips still show in the normal style. Are you using AppStylist to make the whole application Office2007 style?
If so, then I don't think there is any way to change it for just one control.
Currently we do not use AppStylelist. Most of the controls we set to Office2007 are in UserControls so there has not been a need to convert the entire application to use AppStylelist. Another reason has to do with how certain controls look when added to other controls. For instance a UltraTabControl is set to Office2007 and looks perfect. If I drop an UltraGroupBox onto the UltraTabControl and set it to Office2007 the shading and colors do not look as good. In this case we set them to transparent and it picks up the color from UltraTabControl making it look much cleaner.
Hi Michael,
Okay, I think I understand, now. The UltraToolTipManager must be picking up the display style from your isl, but I guess the overflow indicator is not.
This is probably an oversight. At the very least, the UltraTextEditor should either honor the DisplayStyle of the control for it's tooltip, or else it should give you a way to set the tooltip's style separately.
I'm going to ask Infragistics Developer Support to create a case and write this up for developer review.
I created a tool that has two UltraTextEditors. The first TextEditor allows for entry the second is display only.
To make this easy to understand lets say the tool is used for customer entry. When the end user enters a customer number and hits the enter an event fires to validate and return the customers name. Customer after customer can be entered into this control. Resulting in a very long string.
When I hover over the Customer number TextEditor ToolTipManager displays like this.
When I hover over the OverFlow Indicator the display style is default. Like this.
I want to be able to choose the display style for the OverFlow Indicator.
Hello,
I am just checking about the progress of this issue. Did you solve your issue accordingly to the information that Michael provided you?
Let me know if you need any further assistance.
Then I'm not sure why your tooltips are showing up in Office2007 style. There's no property on the UltraTextEditor that I have found that will do this. Perhaps you could post a small sample so I can check it out?
