Tree View: Yellow Rectangle?

P

(PeteCresswell)

I've got a TreeView that's loaded with names.

Screen snap at http://tinyurl.com/329a8m

A yellow rectangle appears as the cursor navigates the tree list.
If the cursor is left on an entry, the rectangle spontaneously
disappears after approximately 3 seconds.

In a small way, I find it annoying and assume that at least some
of my users will too.

If I set a node name via the immediate window e.g.

forms(frmCompanyGroup)!treList.nodes(9) = "xxx"

the yellow-rectangle behavior stops for the entire tree - even
after the tree has been reloaded. It does not resume until the
form is closed and then opened again.

I would like to be turn it off completely when I open the form.

Per (PeteCresswell):

I mis-stated that.

It's appearing with MouseOver, not selection.

TreeView: Unwanted Yellow Rectangle?

A shot in the dark: Your problem looks suspiciously similar to the
action of the 'ControlTip Text' property for Access controls, sometimes
referred to as 'Tooltips.' Maybe there's a property of the treeview
that can turn it off. I programmed an intricate treeview using VB in
Visual Studio many years ago for a company that planned events for
corporations, but I don't remember if the treeview had such a property
or not.
