    ToolTip like Control

    I have a ContextMenuStri p, and I would like to present the user with a
    tooltip like control when they press a certain button on my strip. I
    basically just need the user to enter some notes about an item is a list
    view that they right-clicked on. I don't want to display a form because I'm
    looking for a "cool" way to enter notes about the item, and a form just
    seems too ghetto. Is there a way for a user to enter text into a tooltip?
    i've set the iballoon property to true.

    thanks.

      You cannot let a user enter info in a tooltip.

      What you could do is show a form without titlebar and put a textbox of the
      same size in it.

          You would have to learn to code using JavaScript to put this task together
          and simulate your own ToolTip --or-- you need to change to a different page
          model like WPF/Silverlight. I would check out jQuery (JavaScript) which
          Microsoft just decided to support in VS2008 and integrate with Ajax.
