SuperTooltip

Give your app a voice of its own by adding rich, informative tooltips, labels and error providers with ComponentOne SuperTooltip™ for WinForms. These controls render HTML content so you can easily display multiple fonts, colors, tables, lists, images and more.

Controls Included

  • C1SuperTooltip is used to create professional-looking tooltips which load and display rich HTML content.
  • C1SuperLabel is a label control which displays HTML content rather than plain text.
  • C1SuperErrorProvider is similar to the standard ErrorProvider component, except it displays error information using HTML rather than plain text.

Features

Show All
  • Display Rich, Formatted Content

    Display rich, formatted content in tooltips, labels and error messages in your application using HTML. SuperTooltip components support the following HTML items:

    • Nested <div> elements
    • Mixed fonts and text colors using <span> tags
    • Preformatted text using <pre> tags
    • Paragraph alignment
    • Formatted and nested tables with spanning rows and columns
    • Nested, bulleted and numbered lists
    • Images loaded from the application resources
    • Plain text and content formatted from cascading style sheets

  • Professional Tooltip Styles

    Create professional looking, Vista-style tooltips or choose from four other available background gradients, including Blue, Gold, Olive, and Silver.

  • Create Semi-Transparent Tooltips

    The Opacity property of C1SuperTooltip allows you to create semi-transparent tooltips.

  • Add Rounded Corners

    Further customize the look of your tooltip with rounded corners instead of the standard rectangular corner. C1SuperToolTip provides a RoundedCorners property that makes this possible.

  • Add Images with Ease

    Reference embedded image resources using the <img> tag without any special string format. Simply list the source, like this: <img src='tips.gif' />

  • Control the Location of Tooltips

    The C1SuperTooltip.Popup event allows you to manage the position of the tooltip. For example, display a tooltip anywhere to draw attention to a certain control on your form. The tooltip can be positioned by a control's location or by client coordinates.

  • Provide Rich Error Messaging

    The new C1SuperErrorProvider is similar to the standard ErrorProvider component, except that it allows you to display rich error information using HTML (instead of plain text). You can, for example, use icons and bold red titles for the error tooltips making messages more clear to the user. You can also display error messages when the user hovers or clicks on the error images.

  • Display Blocks of Rich Text with Hyperlinks

    Use the C1SuperLabel control to display blocks of rich content (encoded as HTML) in your Windows Forms apps. Include paragraph formatting, images, tables and even hyperlinks which can navigate within your application or take the user to the Web.

  • Faster and Independent from Internet Explorer

    SuperTooltip uses its own light-weight HTML parser and renderer, completely written in C#, which is much faster than its standard counterparts. SuperTooltip for WinForms also comes without the security concerns often associated with the WebBrowser control since it doesn't depend on Internet Explorer.
