FontName | Font name |
FontSize | Font size |
FontBold | Whether font is boldface |
FontItalic | Whether font is italic |
BackColor | Background color |
ForeColor | Foreground (text) color |
Remarks
Use the TextTip property to specify whether and when text tips and cell notes are displayed and how they are positioned. Text tips are displayed for headers or cells in the control when the pointer is over a header or cell. Cell notes are displayed for cells or headers in the control when the pointer is over a cell note indicator, a red square in the upper right corner of the cell.
This method is applied to the entire workbook, including all sheets in the control.
You can display both text tips and cell notes for a cell. You can use the IsFetchCellNote method within the TextTipFetch event to determine if the event was fired for a cell note or a text tip and to show and modify the cell notes or text tips accordingly.
You can specify that the control delays displaying text tips by specifying the number of milliseconds to delay using the TextTipDelay property.
Note: The Spread control uses the Windows ToolTip colors as the default colors for the background and text. |
