Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is a VAX or a VS problem, but when I use the Excel primary interop assemblies to work with Excel from C#, I get tooltips like this in the screenshot:
The right edge of the tooltip is cut off because it is out of screen bounds.
To reproduce, follow these steps:
At the last step, if the surrounding if block is deep enough, the code will be close to the right edge of the screen and tooltips for some of the members in the completion list will be cut off.
This is very annoying - is there anything I can do?
Thanks,
gbozoki |

I am seeing the same effect here with String::LastIndexOf(), so this is not specific to MS Office. With VA disabled the IDE places the tooltip on either the right or left hand side of the listbox, depending on how far across the screen you are, so this is a VA bug.

feline,
Thanks for your reply. I mentioned Excel only because I thought the tooltip is wrong because of the large number of parameters. I normally don't see these kind of tooltips with other components, but Excel and Word has some crazy member functions with tons of params and the code also requires lots of deep if-s to make sure everthing goes fine.
Normally I rarely reach beyond column ~80, so the tooltips show up ok. |
