• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hyperlink in a RichTextBox - no ToolTip?

  Quick question: When I set the ToolTip property on a Hyperlink that is then embedded into a RichTextBox, hovering the mouse over the hyperlink doesn't display the tooltip*.

Also tooltips of inline level elements are not supported. You could get the ToolTip if a FlowDocumentReader is used HTH ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Using Javascript in test cases

  Hello- I've watched a web cast on web and load testing with Visual Studio Team System and found it quite interesting. I'm trying to use it for my product for automating test cases but seem to run into problems getting the recording to work properly.
