How to make the ToolTip follow the mouse?
I want the ToolTip to follow my mouse moving over one control. For example, let's take a panel. When mouse location is inside the Rectangle(100, 100, 50, 50) I want ToolTip to be visible and always on the righ开发者_运维百科t down of the mouse. When it's outside this rectangle, I want ToolTip to be invisible.
I tried to do this like that:
ToolTip toolTip = new ToolTip();
int x, y;
protected override void OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)
{
if ((x == e.X) && (y == e.Y) && (new Rectangle(100, 100, 50, 50).Contains(e.Location))
toolTip.Show("some text", this, x + 10, y + 10);
else
{
x = e.X;
y = e.Y;
toolTip.Hide(this);
}
}
But there's a problem - when my toolTip shows up - it gets the focus and after that OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e) doesn't work any more. I tried to get the focus to the panel in the end of that function, but it doesn't work. I also tried some tricks with OnMouseHover, but it was the same effect.
Don't use a ToolTip for that - if the Panel is drawn on, draw your own ToolTip; otherwise, use a Panel and respond to MouseMove events from both, but ignore e.Location
and instead use System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position
and PointToClient
.
