Hello,
Is there a way to decrease the width of the tooltip shown in the ultracomboeditor.
Regards,
Abhijit
Hello Abhijit,
Thank you for clarifying which tooltip you are referring to!
After investigation, what I can say is that there would be no exposed API to modify this in a straightforward manner. However, I would be wondering for the reasoning behind this requirement as well. Since the purpose of this tooltip is to display the combo’s display text that is too long to fit the editor’s width, the tooltip would be as wide as the text. Limiting its width would lead to the user not being able to see the text in its enitrety again. Ultimately, this defeats the purpose of the overflow indicator in the first place.
Furthermore, a potential factor that might concern you can possibly be in case the tooltip is being cut off screen in some cases. However, I tested it for a combo docked at the edge of the screen and the tooltip adjusts its position so that it fits and is visible. Please, check out this screenshot for reference.
In conclusion, this information pretty much sums up the available options. Let me know if you need any further assistance on the matter.

Is there a way to reduce the width of the 'tooltip' which is seen when we set the 'ShowOverflowIndicator' Property as true.
Hi Abhijit,
Thank you for posting to Infragistics Community!
In order to be able to assist you, could you please provide more context about the tooltip, for example code-snippets of how it is defined and used, screenshots and anything else you consider relevant.
I am asking this, as the UltraComboEditor doesn't have any built-in tooltip functionality (please refer to this forum thread). Here is also a link to the UltraComboEditor documentation pages.
Having this in mind, as your application most likely contains custom logic to render such tooltip, adjusting its appearance should be handled on app level based on the adopted approach and available APIs.
For your convenience, I am attaching an isolated Windows Forms app containing a single UltraComboEditor with some items. Please, feel free to modify it with only the minimal code needed to reproduce your tooltip configuration and send it back to me, so that I can look into it and eventually provide suggestions.
Additionally, please, keep in mind that version 12.2 of Ultimate UI for Windows Forms is long expired and is not eligible for developer support services. We highly recommend considering upgrading to any of the supported versions in order to leverage all introduced features and fixes since then. More information can be found on our Product Lifecycle page.
