"Tool tip" covered by ToolStripItems if they have dropdown items?
- by Theis
In Windows Forms - if the dropdown items of a MenuStrip has tooltips and dropdown items themselves the tooltip will have about a 50% chance of showing up below the ToolStripItems.
What is the workaround?
To repro you can create the MenuStrip in Visual Studio or just add the following code to a form and then try to hover your mouse over the menu items to get a tooltip:
//Make a menu strip
MenuStrip menu = new MenuStrip();
this.Controls.Add(menu);
//Add category "File"
ToolStripMenuItem fileItem = new ToolStripMenuItem("File");
menu.Items.Add(fileItem);
//Add items
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
ToolStripMenuItem item = new ToolStripMenuItem("item");
item.ToolTipText = "item tooltip";
item.DropDownItems.Add("sub item");
fileItem.DropDownItems.Add(item);
}
I am using .NET 3.5
