Description
This value defines the hatch-pattern used to fill the tooltip text. It is only significant for layouts where TextStyle=Hatch.The background color for the hatch pattern is defined by the FontColor-property, while the foreground color is specified by the FontHatchColor-property. The table at the end of this section shows a list of all available hatch-styles.
If specified at the component-level for a tooltip component (i.e. by defining the FontHatchStyle directly for the component), the assigned hatch-style will become the default FontHatchStyle for the tooltips of all controls on the same form:
'Assign a new background hatch pattern
'to the tooltip component
Me.MultiLine.GetMultiLineToolTip(Panel1) _
.FontHatchStyle = HatchStyle.Wave
This default FontHatchStyle can be overridden for each control through the Override-property provided to all controls on the same form by the tooltip component (see "The Override-Property").
If the override-value for the FontHatchStyle has to be set or changed at runtime for the tooltip of a specific control, code like the following is needed:
'Assign a new background hatch pattern
'to the override-object for Panel1
Me.MultiLine.GetMultiLineToolTip(Panel1).Override _
.FontLayoutOverride.FontHatchStyle = HatchStyle.Percent25
Example 1
This statements define a hatched text at the component level. A hatch pattern is selected and the background and foreground colors for the hatch pattern are defined:
'define a hatched font for the tooltips provided by the component (MultiLine).
Me.MultiLine.TextStyle = TextDrawingStyle.Hatch
'define the background color for the hatch-pattern...
Me.MultiLine.FontColor = Color.Transparent
'...and it's foreground color.
Me.MultiLine.FontHatchColor = Color.Blue
'select the hatch-pattern
Me.MultiLine.FontHatchStyle = Drawing2D.HatchStyle.Percent50
All available HatchStyles
