Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean enumeration value that specifies whether to display hints for tab form pages.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

If the ShowToolTips property is set to Default or False, hints are not displayed. Set this property to True to display hints for tab form pages. A hint is displayed when a tab is hovered over with the mouse pointer. See the figure below.

By default, hints contain page captions specified using the TabFormPage.Text property. This may be useful if a caption is not visible in its entirety within a tab, as in the figure above. However, you can specify a custom SuperToolTip for a tab form page using the TabFormPage.SuperTip property.

By default, tooltips are controlled by the default ToolTipController accessible using the DefaultToolTipController component. You can provide a custom controller for tab form page hints using the TabFormControlBase.ToolTipController property. See Tooltips for details.
