Hi all!
When I write so code I always have some toolTip text for method
arguments that help me to know what jind of object and some "hints" I've to
write. How I can obtain this same thing( when I open the first braket "(" )
with methods that I write myself ? I mean if you type :

MSGBOX( ' you will optain "Prompt as Object, ..... and a little after
you will have a description for the Promp object.

Other example:
If you type me.combobox1. ' You will get a list of every methods avaible
for this comboxbox with a little ToolTipTex for each one. How can I obtain
this with my own methods?

Thank,
Francois

There are some tools available which can be used to generate the XML file
required for the tooltips:

Hi Francois,

Take a look at the System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip class. It might help.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/
frlrfsystemwindowsformstooltipclasstopic.asp

If you need a listbox tooltip, I think you can create a new form, put a
listbox object in it, add everything you need into the list box, and show
it on a certain position of the window.
