I have an application that uses listbox.CellTooltipAt and it works fine with my mac application. But on windows 10 it is not working !

Any ideas why ?

Thanks everybody

I don’t see the problem. I have the following code in a test app listbox’s MouseMove event and it works fine.

```auto
Var row, column As Integer

row = Me.RowFromXY (X, Y)
column = Me.ColumnFromXY (X, Y)

If column = -1 Or row = -1 Then Return

Me.CellTooltipAt (row, column) = "Row " + str (row) + ", column: " + str (column)

```

Perhaps you should show some code.

What’s the configuration of monitor(s) on Windows 10? Do you have more than one screen?

Here is a part of my code when I build the listbox from a rowset of a database

//  
// on fait la COLUMN 3 , c’est les initiales du lph  
//  
v = rs.columnAt(2).StringValue  
listbox3.CellValueAt(listbox3.LastAddedRowIndex, 2) = v

// tooltip des initiales  
If app.gdInitLph.HasKey(v) Then  
tempInfo=app.gdInitLPh.Value(v)  
fullNameToolTip=tempInfo.NthField(",",3) + " “+ tempInfo.NthField(”,",4)// retourne nom complet  
Listbox3.CellTooltipAt(Listbox3.LastAddedRowIndex,2)=fullNameToolTip  
Else  
Listbox3.CellTooltipAt(Listbox3.LastAddedRowIndex,2) =“Utilisateur non présent dans base de données” // retourne si iduser pas dans dictionnaire gdLph  
End If

It works fine with my mac app

Thanks

Just added to the ticket, I hope this helps if you haven’t worked around it already:

There are two workarounds for this:

1. Set Window2.Visible = False instead of closing it

or

1. Open Window1 before Window2 in App.Open and ensure that Window1.Visible = False in the inspector of the IDE, then set it to True when the load is complete.

Version 2 might be better as it will destroy window2 however you might need to refactor your loading routines out of Window1
