IWin32Window in C#?

How do i use this to create a tooltip?

Ive tried looking through all articles in MSDN website but i just cannot get my head round it.

Thanks,

Ash

• Is this what you're looking for? You shouldn't need to use interop for tooltips.

  Ash : I tried this but to actually show the tooltip you need to use the IWin32Window thing because its one of the parameters needed to show the object. Thanks though :)

• What exactly is it you want to do? For most purposes, you just add a Tooltip and set values against controls. Some controls provide their own tool-tip (and mechanism to set the text).

      [STAThread]
      static void Main()
      { // example code only... doesn't do cleanup
          Application.EnableVisualStyles();
          Button btn = new Button();
          Form form = new Form();
          form.Controls.Add(btn);
          ToolTip ttip = new ToolTip();
          ttip.SetToolTip(btn, "Hello world");
          Application.Run(form);
      }

  re the comment; then just something like:

  form.Shown += delegate {
      ttip.Show("hi", form, 0,0, 3000);
  };
  

  (where form could be the form, "this", or any control)

  Ash : I just want to show a tooltip for now that jus shows some text nothing fancy, i wana hard code the text in and show it onload.

  Ash : The code before thats in C# does the same as this but i dont think this will actually show the tooltip, well didnt when i last tried it

  Marc Gravell : see update for just showing it standalone

  Ash : Ohhhh so the iWin32 thing is just any control on the form? Including the form?

  Ash : I seee! Thanks dudee got it working :D

  Marc Gravell : Yes - all controls provide a windows handle - i.e. an IWin32Window
