Newline in tooltip control

[Lembasts]

Hi,
According to: https://www.sapien.com/blog/2014/01/30/ ... p-control/
..all I need do for a new line in my tooltip is add a backtick n (`n).
I have done that on a tooltip and it does not generate a newline and simply display the text `n.
What am I missing please?
Thanks
David

The string must be in double quotes.

$tip = "this is one line `n and this is two lines"

Thanks.
I also discovered that you cannot set that tootltip text directly in the controls properties.
You have to use the settooltip method.

That is correct. You cannot easily use the tooltip property on a control. It is just there to display a defult tip.

Attached is a demo of how to use a tooltip without any code.

Read the following very carefully to learn how ToolTips work.

My example shows how to use the tooltip set on the control.
