UltraToolBar tooltips not working hosted in WindowsFormsHost
posted

Hi,

I am hosting my winform control in WPF using WindowsForsmHost, my winform control is using infragistics UltraToolbarsManager.
Before upgrading my application from winform to WPF, all buttons of UltraToolbarsManager were showing tooltips on mouse hover, but now after hosting this control in wpf tooltips have stopped working.
Kindly let me know what is causing this issue and how it can be resolved.

Thanks.

Regards,

Tayyaba

    Hello Tayyaba,

    I have been investigating into this behavior you are reporting, and I have put together a sample project that hosts an UltraToolbarsManager in a WPF application through usage of a Windows Forms UserControl and the WindowsFormsHost. In doing so, I can see that the ButtonTool and other tools have tooltips.

    I noticed that we recently were on another forum discussion together where you had mentioned that you were using version 7.3. It is worth noting that over the years, there have been quite a few fixes to the UltraToolbarsManager to allow its usage in WPF applications through the usage of the WindowsFormsHost. Previously, the UltraToolbarsManager would specifically expect a parent Form to be present, or certain pieces of the component simply would not work correctly, and I believe that is likely what is happening here, as those issues likely still exist in 7.3. As such, if you would like to have tooltip functionality working correctly in the UltraToolbarsManager in WPF, I would recommend upgrading to a more recent version.

    I am attaching a sample project I used to test this that was built against the latest version of Infragistics for Windows Forms controls - 2018.1, specific version 18.1.20181.88.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
