I have an Explorer bar control with a tree inside the group's container control. I also have a ToolTipManager. I am using the ToolTipManager to display tooltips for the tree - and the ToolTipManager's display style is set to bubble. I am setting the tooltip for the group in it's ToolTipText property. However that displays the tooltip in a rectangle. How do I display it in a bubble like the tree?
To get a bubble-style tooltip for the UltraExplorerBar, you use the UltraToolTipManager, just like you did for the UltraTree. Don't set the ToolTipText property for the group, or it will try to display that text using its own internal (standard) tooltip. In fact, you should set the UltraExplorerBar.GroupSettings.ShowToolTips property to False, to prevent them from appearing at all. The UltraToolTipManager works outside of the object model of the control to which it is extended.
What should we do to activate "Infragistics tooltip bubble" after I set GroupSettings.ShowToolTips property to False?
Thanks!
This is currently not possible as the GetUltraToolTip method expects a Control, and UltraExplorerBarItems/UltraExplorerBarGroups are not controls. If you like you can submit a feature request.
Hi,
It will be more than great if I could use my Groups and Items of my UltraWinExplorerBar like a "Control".
Is it possible?
If yes, all I will need to do is use these lines in my FormInitialisation.
UltraToolTipManager Manager = new UltraToolTipManager();
UltraToolTipInfo TTInfo= Manager.GetUltraToolTip(MyControl);
Thanks,
You would do something like handle the MouseEnterElement event for the UltraExplorerBarGroupHeaderUIElement (assuming you are displaying a tooltip for the header), then call the UltraToolTipManager.Show method to display it. You can also hide it in MouseLeaveElement.
