Greetings,

Now after serveral hours of researching, asking on different forums and other i decided to ask here.

How to simply add a Picture to a tooltip when as for eksample mouse over a button it will show a picture of e.g. a Computer. I tried serveral methods but i just can't seem to get it work right.

If there is anyone out there who can give me a simple code and a explanation to why and how it works. If its a more advanced thing, feel free to post it anyway and try, if you can explain me how it works :)

Thank you very much!

There is no simple way to do this because default tooltips are text only. You'd have to create a custom control to handle this.
