First of all, I love these controls!!! Now to business. I'm using HtmlTooltip to display information including a web link. The controls that are triggering the tooltip are Buttons. The tooltip displays just fine, but when I move my mouse to click on the link in the tooltip, it vanishes.
The vanishing part is expected when the user mouses-off the control, but it makes it difficult when the tooltip doesn't consider itself as an extension of the control's drawing area. What I imagine it should do is as I move my mouse from the button to the tooltip, it will stay open, then I can click the link. This is actually works on the Demo app on the main window, HtmlPanel. The reason it works there is the whole entire panel is the control under the tooltip. Since the tooltip overlaps with the panel, it doesn't consider you moving onto the tooltip moving off the control. But if you tweak the demo app and call SetToolTip on the treeview control to add the tooltip to that, it won't let you move your mouse to the link as long as the portion of the tooltip that has the link is not overlapping with the original control's drawing area.
I hope I'm not confusing anyone. So, is there any way to have the disappearing of the tooltip wait a little longer so that for smaller controls, the user can get their mouse from the control to the tooltip window? And if they're moving their mouse within the tooltip window (even parts that don't overlap with the original control) the tooltip stays up? Thanks a million.
