Silverlight 4 : Auto-display tooltips on out of bounds text - silverlight-4.0

I have an item control wherein i display a list of string in rows and columns, the problem is that due to excess amount of text, the text gets cropped. So i wish to implement a tool-tip that can detect the excess text and display the complete text once i hover over the item or perhaps scroll the text once i hover onto it
PS: -i do not want to increase the width of the item control or the window
-i do not want to wrap the text so it accommodates in a next line.

This guy post a clever solution to this issue.

Stop overlapping elements from pushing text down

I'm trying to build a section with text overlapping an image using relative positioning. However the text within the text container is forcing below the image instead of overlapping it. I've tried z-index, float, replacing image with div box, but nothing seems to get the text to clear the image (the text wrapper overlaps fine). Anyone have any idea how to get the text elements to overlap the image as well instead of breaking around it?

VB Form Not Holding Format

In the design window, I have my controls formatted one way, but when I run my program, the formatting changes. The window looks larger and the digit button is no longer aligned. I have no clue how to fix this. I am taking an intro level course, so I can't fix this with code. When I wrote my first couple of programs, I didn't have an issue with resizing, but for the last two or three, they never hold their size.
My Program
the above issue please check the anchor tag of each control it should be Top left.
To hold the control position
1 Add panel control to form then dock it to form
2 Add the other
control it will hold the control position as well

Changing button's size based on its content's length, so the button keeps its shape

I have a UIButton which is created programmatically (it can be customised from Interface Builder, though). It is a circular and it looks like this:
Now I'm working on Internationalization and I need to check it for Double-Length Pseudolanguage. The image above is taken when the app language is set to double-length pseudo, but as you can see, the button only shows one word. Here are the constraints of the button:
The title style of the button is plain, its text is centre-aligned, and the line break is set to "Word Wrap".
How to make the button keep its shape but to increase its size when needed (basically, to increase its width and height for the same amount, so it keeps being a circle), so for example, in this case to show two "Menu" words? If you know how to achieve this I would appreciate your help.
Try setting the content compression resistance on the button to required (1000) for horizontal and vertical. It will also depend on the stackViews above and below allowing for the size change.

listbox column head format backcolor

I need to set the entire column head in the list box to bold
and color. So I created a list box, and in the list box property under
column heads I selected yes, how can I make this list box bold without
effect the rest of the data in the list.
You can't do it as far as I know. The only alternative I can offer is a method I use. You make your list box wide enough that it doesn't scroll horizontally and put labels right above it.
Remember to leave the last column a little wider than you need to account for the scroll bar.

In VB.NET, can we draw empty lines instead of blank area in non existent row of datagrid?

EDITED:
I think we can just draw an image that resemble the grid using this article : drawing in a datagridview Currently creating a way to make the image drawn in tile mode. :)
Each time I develop a datacentric application using VB.NET regardless of how much the data displayed in the datagrid, I always want the grid to display full row of empty data, not just blank panel.
Can we achieve this using VB.NET design time property?
And also, we must not trigger the display of vertical scrollbar this way.. :)
Thanks
You might try doing a screen capture of the dgv when it is full of blank lines and use that as your background. However, you'll have a problem with the vertical lines if they resize the columns. In your picture you don't have any vertical lines so if you don't need them then just erase them and your problem is solved.
There's also the option of using the Virtual Mode. When you set that property to true then you can set the number of visible rows, but you are responsible for telling the dgv what each individual cell is supposed to contain: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2b177d6d.aspx
Or you can just add extra blank rows to whatever datasource you are setting your DGV to.
Use the ScrollBars property to turn the vertical scroll bar off.
