Image On Mouse Over.

Image On Mouse Over.

• Melt16

  Ok, heres the deal:
  
  I need to get an image to display (like a tooltip) when I put my cursor over another image.
  
  Thats about it. If you can help me with this that would be nice :)

  2 things:
  
  1. I posted a 2nd topic because I don't even know if the 1st got posted. I had no microsoft alert things come up so I just assumed it didn't post.
  
  and 2. Thank you SOOOOO much! I really needed this code. you see I'm programming a form based game and I just learned how to do cinematics so I needed my 3rd important aspect of the game.
  
  Thanks!

  Bruno,

  Sounds to me like the OP wants the mouse pointer to change to an image on the event of mouse_hover over another image.

  The OP may want to leave a pointer trail too

  What is the maximum size for a mouse pointer image, by the way, please

   

  Regards,

  S_DS

  I forgot that the image must follow the mousepointer, so this updated code for the Form1 class will do that:
  
  (Note: add the unchanged code for the xxToolTip class too, of course)

  Dellmonty,

  Your problem confused me. I have to understand your problem in two steps:

  1. Display an image, however, where would you like to display On a form or some other controls It is known that there are so many controls that can display images.

  2. What is the meaning of "Follow the mouse by having my mouse over another image" Could you give me an explanation

  Thank you for your question and I hope you can make it specificly in your reply.

  You can also set up a custom cursor that only

  displays when over a particular control:

  ' Cursor from image example.

  ' Example uses a button, picturebox

  ' and openfiledialog

  Public Class Form1

  Dim pubcur As Cursor

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _

  ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

  OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Jpg files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|Bmp files (*.bmp)|*.bmp"

  If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

  ' If you do not size the cursor's source

  ' bitmap as shown below (32x32). The cursor can/will be

  ' quite large. Transparent and translucent areas of the

  ' source bitmap will work here.

  Dim theBitmap2 As New Bitmap _

  ((Image.FromFile(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)), 32, 32)

  pubcur = New Cursor(theBitmap2.GetHicon)

  End If

  End Sub

  Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, _

  ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseLeave

  Me.Cursor = Cursors.Arrow

  End Sub

  Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, _

  ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseMove

  If pubcur IsNot Nothing Then

  Me.Cursor = pubcur

  End If

  End Sub

  End Class

  You've actually given the answer yourself: make a customized tooltip, one that shows an image.
  
  Here's a working example - just create a new project/windowsapplication, then add a label (named Label1) to Form1, and copy/paste the code below as the code for Form1:

  Please do not post the same question multiple times - it may take time for someone with a suggestion to post. Multiple posts also are less likely to be answered (since it simply becomes noise in the forum).

  Thanks.

  Take a look at my reply in this topic:

  A tooltip can easily be made to always show, so that would give you the behaviour you're requesting.
