Showing Textbox ToolTip

Question

I am trying to work in the tooltip in vb.net. What I am trying to do is whatever I write the text in the textbox control show it in the tooltip. I am able to show text in tooltip but my question is when I edit input text it will show old and new text in the popup tooltip. Here is what I have done so far.

Public Class Form1
  Dim s As String = ""

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    s = TextBox1.Text
    Dim tooltip1 As System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip = New System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip()

    tooltip1.SetToolTip(Button1, s)
  End Sub
End Class

Thank you.

It's hard to figure out why this is useful, but try using the TextChanged event of the textbox to update the tooltip:

Private _ToolTip As New ToolTip()

Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
                                 Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
  _ToolTip.Show(TextBox1.Text, TextBox1)
End Sub
