Formatting tooltips (e.g. with vbcrlf)

[Glasgow]

Nicked this post from code internationalisation forum as I don't have an answer and have experienced the same problem.

Can you control how tooltips are displayed over multiple lines (e.g. by embedding vbCrLf)? I have not been able to do so?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry - tooltips are single lines. However: I had the same question and came across a control at this website:

which does exactly what you are looking for. Navigate over to the Source Code, then pick the Controls link. The "Multiline Tooltips" is what you are looking for.

Thank you - I will investigate

Here's some source code for a great multiline tooltip.

Do a search at

http://www.planetsourcecode.com/

for tool tips. There is several very good apps/examples. One that may be just what the doctor ordered is at

Good Luck.
