Can someone confirm this behaviour please :o)

Hi,

I have been trying to find an answer, even a hint, but despite posting
the following question on various forums i haven't even had a single
reply for nearly two weeks :o(.


"Why do treeview tooltips flash if the main form has its
transparencykey set?"


Could a couple of people please try this (its a 67 second job) just so
i know it isn't just my PC :o)


You can replicate this behaviour really easily by (vb VS2003)


1) creating a new vb windows application
2) set Form1.TransparencyKey to the same as Form1.BackColor
3) Add a treeview to the form
4) Add a node to TreeView1 whose text is too long to display (i used
'whyisthishappeningwhyisthishappeningwhyisthishappeningwhywhywhy')
5) run the application and hover your mouse over the node.


Many thanks,


James.
