it is happening with other controls also .

hmm, not something i've ever come accross but it sounds like a bug to me. vb does have quite a few, though there not as major as the ones in most other microsoft products.

could also be the picturebox thats over-riding the control as its physically ontop of that control, almost threaded. also remembering the picturebox can act as a container. does this happen with other controls or just the picturebox?

i have created a simple active x control with a picture box on it

using that control in a project , the tooltip i set to my activex control , is displayed .

The tooltip does not appear if make an exe out if it.

I mean tooltip is working in vb ide but not in exe.

I am using Vb6 Sp6

 

Steps to reproduce behaviour :

1. Choose activex Control Project

2. Put a picture box control on usercontrol.

3. just make an ocx out of it.

4. now use this activex control in a standard exe project

5. set tooltiptext property of your control.

6. run and u can see the tooltiptext value

7. new make an exe out this project

8. run the exe file and tooltiptext value will not display.
