I am creating a user control derived from RichTextBox.
I have to display a tooltip under a custom hyperlink
I have created the cusom hyperlink ,with CFM_LINK .
Now when I do a mouse hover on the link , a tooltip should be displayed , with values respective to the link .
"I am using [Word2003] , but [Word2007] is the recent version. "
In my user control , words within brackets are treated as links. Therefore Word2003 and Word2007 is a link. I am creating this link using CFM_LINK.
Now I want to display a tooltip with the file properties , when the mouse hovers on a link, say , if the mouse hovers over [Word2003] , the tooltip shall display the Version No.
I am providing the code below ; this code should display the tooltip for the entire richtext box, whenver the mouse moves.
By the way, I have not set the event mask, for EN_LINK, is it necesary, as I am creating the link with CFM_LINK.
protected override void OnNotifyMessage(Message m) { base.OnNotifyMessage(m);
NMHDR nmhdr = (NMHDR)Marshal.PtrToStructure(m.LParam,
typeof(NMHDR));
if(nmhdr.code == EN_LINK)
{
ENLINK linkStruct = (ENLINK)Marshal.PtrToStructure(m.LParam,typeof(ENLINK));
if(linkStruct.msg == WM_MOUSEMOVE)
{
myToolTip.Active = true;
myToolTip.SetToolTip(this, "This is my tooltip");
}
else
{
myToolTip.Active = false;
}
}
}
Please let me know what I am missing out .
Thank, Sujay
