Description
This property holds a reference to an Image-object (any kind of bitmap-image supported by the .NET-framework) to be displayed in a SingleLineToolTip as a decorating symbol next to the main tooltip-text.If a bitmap-image is assigned to the Symbol-property, it will be drawn on either the right or the left side of the tooltip-text (this is defined by the SymbolAlignment-property).
Because the height of the tooltip-content is defined by the selected Font, the given symbol-image will be scaled down isotropically (proportionally) to fit into the available vertical space. Therefore the images are always rendered with a height slightly larger then the tallest character displayed by the tooltip.
Here are some samples:
If specified at the component-level for a tooltip component (i.e. by defining the Symbol directly for the component), the assigned value will become the default Symbol for the tooltips of all controls on the same form:
'Define a new symbol to be placed next to the text of all tooltips
'shown by this component
Me.SingleLineTT.Symbol = Image.FromFile("C:\Temp\MyLogo.png")
This default image for the Symbol 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 Symbol has to be set or changed at runtime for the tooltip of a specific control, code like the following is needed:
'Override the default symbol for the tooltip
'of Panel1...
Me.SingleLineTT.GetSingleLineToolTip(Panel1) _
.Override.Symbol = Image.FromFile("C:\Temp\FloppyDisk.png")
'...and place it on the right side of the tooltip text.
Me.SingleLineTT.GetSingleLineToolTip(Panel1) _
.Override.SymbolAlignment = SymbolLocation.Right
