I have a string that is constantly changing. I would like to display
the string in the caption and/or in a ToolTip when the form is
minimized.
I have done this successfully--save one problem: the string is
'frozen' and not constantly undated when it's minimized--it only shows
the value of the string at the moment the window was minimized.
But, when the window is maximized (or not minimized), the caption
displays the string correctly (with the current, correct,
instantaneous value of the string), as does the tool tip (if you hover
the tooltip over the form).
Any ideas? I'm sure one of you have run across this problem.
I can think of maybe setting up a clock .Tick event and somehow
updating the caption this way, but there has to be a more elegant way.
Any ideas appreciated.
