I'm working on project and I want to put a balloon tooltip like (html5) design on each textbox or another control
Here's an example:
I assume you're working in a Windows Forms project. To add Tooltips controls have to use the ToolTip class.
You can add design-time control from the toolbox of Visual Studio. In this way the properties of each control, you will see a new property called ToolTip in which you can set the text you want to appear.
Another option is acerlo for programming, creating an instance of the ToolTip class.

I have a set of controls which are added dynamically to a panel. The number of controls depends on which tab a user selects from TabPage control, which is embedded in a form.
At the moment, the controls don't appear in Designer, but appear during execution.
I managed to display controls for other forms which are not dynamic by moving the non-design code to the vb file, but how can I display the other ones?
The only answer that I know of is to add your code in the .Designer.vb file of the Form.
BUT! I strongly advise you to avoid that if you are not sure how it works! Custom code in the .Designer. files can break your form design and project with possible random crashes.
Also, your code can be changed and removed by the Visual Studio designer:
Custom code in designer.vb file goes away when making edits in design mode
Instead, you can make the panels into custom user controls and add those to the tabs.
I am trying to create a user control and custom designer. The perfect example of what I am trying to achieve in design time is how the menuStrip allows you to enter the text of the item being added.
This tells me it is possible, but I do not know if they are just drawing a box/cursor and just handling the key events individually or if they are using a textBox control in the designer somehow.
Is there a way to use controls in the designer during design time?
Hello
I am working in VB.Net 2.0 windows forms.
A color palette occurs on click of backcolor of any control. I want to add a new tab in this palette. In the new tab, I want to add the new colors as per the requirement.
The actual dialog is a private class named ColorUI, nested inside the System.Drawing.Design.ColorEditor class. That prevents you from altering it.
You'll need to create a complete replacement for this UITypeEditor derived class. You can get implementation hints on getting this right by using Reflector. Beware that you cannot override the [Editor] attribute on existing controls, your new version of the dialog will only be usable on your own custom controls.
In Visual Studio 2008, using VB .NET, I have a Split Container that I want to dynamically load panels into the Panel2 slot from other team member's work based on user input in the Panel1 controls.
Can my team members work on panels outside of a form, save it, then have the main Form just load those panels when needed without copying and pasting each panel into the form and making them visible and invisible?
Thanks.
Sure, have the team build user controls which you will then add to the control collection for the panel.
When answering another question I started to wonder how I could Add new properties to all controls in a form just like the ToolTip-control does.
For example I could use that to Add a "IsDirty"-flag to all textboxes just by adding the component to the form and it would handle this for every textbox.
When adding the tooltip-control to the form all controls magically gets a new property "Tooltip on tooltip1" that can be set both programatically and in design view.
I want to be able to do my own enhancer like that.
It's an Extender Provider.
