Hover mouse over component to show PLCAddressValue

[Darrell]

I would like Hover mouse over a component and have the  PLCAddressValue  show ,  in order to quickly verify what is being read on my HMI , I would like to do this for more than one component on the the screen ,  I've spent the better part of my day playing with this and and can seem to get something to work ,  If someone could point me in the right direction , it would be very much appreciated

Thanks Darrell

From the ToolBox add a ToolTip to your form, it will go down into the component tray.

Double click a BasicLabel to get back to the code.
At the top you will see 2 drop downs, one will be the object (BasicLabel) and the other will be the event
Change the event to MouseHover

Add this code:

Code: [Select]

Private Sub BasicLabel1_MouseHover(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BasicLabel1.MouseHover
  Try
        ToolTip1.SetToolTip(sender, sender.PLCAddressValue)
  catch ex as exception
  end try
End Sub

You can then add after "MouseHover" a comma followed by more objects (e.g.  BasicLabel2.MouseHover, BasicLabel3.MouseHover)

when I tried this it was in a regular vb form and it seemed to work fine  but when I tried in advanceHMI ,   I get this error

'ToolTip1' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.   

not sure what it means

thanks

Is "ToolTip1" the exact name of the tool tip as it shows in the component tray?

[Darrell]

Little things that drive you crazy sometimes , forgot to add the tool tip to the component tray ,

all is good now
thanks
