Description

This property defines the width of the tooltip border. It applies only for tooltip layouts where Border<>None

Setting BorderWidth=0 for Border<>None has the same effect as setting Border=None: No tooltip border will be rendered. 

If specified at the component-level for a tooltip component (i.e. by defining the BorderWidth directly for the component), the assigned value will become the default BorderWidth for the tooltips of all controls on the same form:

'Assign a new border-width to the tooltip component

Me.MultiLine.GetMultiLineToolTip(Panel1).BorderWidth = 25

This default BorderWidth 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 BorderWidth has to be set or changed at runtime for the tooltip of a specific control, code like the following is needed:

'Override the default tooltip border-width for the tooltip border

'of Panel1...

Me.MultiLine.GetMultiLineToolTip(Panel1).Override _

.BorderOverride.BorderWidth = 1

Example 1

This statements define a textured border at the component level: 

'define a 25 pixel wide textured border for the 

'tooltips provided by the component (MultiLine).

Me.MultiLine.Border = BorderStyle.Texture

Me.MultiLine.BorderWidth = 25  'make the border 25 pixel wide

'load the image and assign it to the BorderTexture property...

Me.MultiLine.BorderTexture = Image.FromFile("C:\Temp\logo.jpg")
