Access 2007 ToolTip Font Apparence...

L

lupo666

Hi all,

I have designed a continuous form with a button (repeated in each row,
of course...) that opens details of the specific record/row. It works
perfectly. I also have changed the button tooltip behaviour to show
the client's ID, as requested by the client...

The only problem is that the client would like the tooltip a bit more
visible. How can I change the tooltip font, size, color, background,
etc..., in an Access 2007 continuous form?

Thank you in advance for any help u may provide...

Ciao, Lupo

Lupo,
I'm not right up to date with 2007, but in the past, Tooltip font was
controlled through Windows itself,
Try Right clicking the desktop, and select
Appearance/Advanced/ToolTip... and set the font and size to suit.
Be aware though that this will alter the tooltip for all windows apps.
You might want to try showing/hiding a label control on the form, using
your button MouseOver event.
That would allow you control of font, without affecting your general
windows tooltip setting.

Dear Al,

thank you for the reply. The windows appareance tip will do for the
project, I think. Just in case or for future reference, how would u go
about the mouseover thing? I mean I can set visible to true on
mouseover, but how would I hide it again?

Basically, to "undo" a mouseover event (actually, it's called the MouseMove
event) you place the code to reverse the effect in the MouseMove event of the
Detail Section of the form.

Here's a link to a tutorial on Bytes.com that goes into suing the MouseMove
event in detail:

Lupo,
You might want to check out the new 97 and 2003 file I have on my
website Access Tips (below).
It's called "Custom Tool Tips", and uses the Mouse move to show/hide
custom "psuedo" Tool Tips.

Al you have mistakenly duplicated the Hyperlinks for the ToolTips archive to
a previously listed ComboQuickFind solution.
