pop up a tooltip

[Dj_Saturn]

Theres No compiler Errors,

what I want to do is when the mouse is hovered over a disabled trackbar is to pop up a certain tooltip.

heres the code i have.


private: System::Void tracker_MouseHover(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
if(tracker->Enabled == false)
info->Show(L"You must play your song/sound to enable the seeker.",this);

}

info is the name of the tooltip.

the problem is that the tooltip does not appear.

So is there something I'm missing?
i was searching around and didn't get a straight answer.
all i got is that i may have to enable tooltips within my form but wouldn't know how to do that either.

thank you for your assistance.

You can always use the good lod fashioned alt attribute within your image. <img src="images/imagehere.gif" alt="alternative text should appear here">

You can even put a dynamic value in the alt in the case of developing a template.

unless you want me to put an html placeholder box in my program, that would not work.

c++ please =)
