Visual Studio Express Editions toolTip
Any example on how to use the tooltip function you may need to be more descriptive but here is a simple example on how a tooltip is used: Dim theToolTip as new ToolTip() theToolTip.SetToolTip( Control , Text ) so if I wanted a tool tip on a textbox theToolTip.SetToolTip(Me.theTextBox, "This is a tool tip!" ) you could also say, show this tool tip when the mouse hovers of that textbox, by implementing the TextBox's MouseHover event, then place the code above in there, so when you hover over the control, it should show it. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.tooltip.aspx Does this help ...Show All

Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem with locking documents.
I am trying to automate some letters. For example, I have a drop down box used to select the type of document I want. The document will then load, with tags where customer information can be added. By entering a customer number, a DB is searched and returns and fills in all of the information. There is then an option to create an image of the final document. All of this works fine, except in one instance. If I were to select one type of document, complete and image it, and switch to a new type of document, and image it, the image becomes locked and will not unlock. This is not a problem if I do not switch between different letters. Anyone have any ideas Given this isn't a VSTO specific question you'll pro ...Show All
