Hello Jon The Nerd,

Thank you for the question.

Our RadOffice2007ScreenTip supports displaying text and images and you can use it for the nodes of a RadTreeView. To do so, first subscribe to the ScreenTipNeeded event of the RadTreeView. Then, in the event handler set properties of the RadOffice2007ScreenTip:

RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement screenTip = new RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement();
Size size = new Size(120, 50);
Padding pad = new Padding(2);

void radTreeView1_ScreenTipNeeded(object sender, ScreenTipNeededEventArgs e)
{
    TreeNodeUI node = e.Item as TreeNodeUI;
    if (node != null)
    {
        screenTip.MainImage.Image = WindowsApplication6.Properties.Resources.gear;
        screenTip.MainImage.Padding = pad;
        screenTip.CaptionLabel.Padding = pad;
        screenTip.CaptionLabel.Text = "Customers View";
        screenTip.MainTextLabel.Text = node.Text;
        screenTip.EnableCustomSize = true;
        screenTip.AutoSize = false;
        screenTip.Size = size;
        node.ScreenTip = this.screenTip;
    }
}

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

screenTip.MainImage already does not exist at all! So how can anyone believe this would be a possible solution? Even your documentation does not Mention it at all. So is this completely fake or did you forget some secret extensions???

Hello,

The post that you are referring to is quite old back to 2008. We have introduced a lot of new features and improvements in our controls since then. Please refer to the actual documentation where you can find more information about RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/telerik-presentation-framework/tooltips-and-screentips/screen-tips 

Below you can find a sample code snippet of how you can assign an image to RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement:

RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement screenTip = new RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement();
private void RadTreeView1_ScreenTipNeeded(object sender, ScreenTipNeededEventArgs e)
{
    TreeNodeElement node = e.Item as TreeNodeElement;
    if (node != null)
    {
        screenTip.MainTextLabel.Image = Resources.usa;
        screenTip.CaptionLabel.Text = "Customers View";
        screenTip.MainTextLabel.Text = node.Text;
        node.ScreenTip = this.screenTip;
    }
}

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
