Need Help Locating Winforms-compatible Custom Tooltip Control

Question

I think this is a very smart control, does winForms have such a thing?

Answer 1

Devexpress has a free ToolTipController class (as well as ErrorProvider and HintController classes) which you can get here: https://www.devexpress.com/Products/Free/NetOffer/ which provides exactly what you want. I use it on daily basis. You can simply drop a textbox onto the form and set its tooltip, tooltipcontroller, and tooltipicon properties as you wish (also you can use the validation event to display error messages as tooltips).

Answer 2

You're looking for the ToolTip component.

Answer 3

No, not out of the box. There is a tooltip but it doesn't look like the one you show.

But you could make it by creating a custom control.

Answer 4

Closest thing I can think of is the Error Provider control

Answer 5

there is an error provider in winforms to do this but if you want to display like this you can use Tooltip

// Create the ToolTip and associate with the Form container. ToolTip toolTip1 = new ToolTip();

     // Set up the delays for the ToolTip.
     toolTip1.AutoPopDelay = 5000;
     toolTip1.InitialDelay = 1000;
     toolTip1.ReshowDelay = 500;
     // Force the ToolTip text to be displayed whether or not the form is active.
     toolTip1.ShowAlways = true;

     // Set up the ToolTip text for the Button .
     toolTip1.SetToolTip(this.button1, "My button1");
