I want to change the text of the default moseOver message ("Close") of the close button of a form.
Is there any way to do it?

(By the close button I mean the button present on the top right corner of the window)

Is there a mouse hover event for that button?

I don't think you can, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4153339/change-close-button-tooltip

You would have to write a browser plugin and only if the browser supported that feature. I suggest you post as solution.

A browser plugin for a Winform application?

Ah, I misread it. Regardless, I think your link is the solution and should still be posted as such.

The link you provided states the solution for just changing the language of the tooltip. I want to alter the text of the tooltip. Anyway thanx for replying :)

I guess you missed the part where it says "you can't"

Solution 1

You Can do this using Jquery like this:

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function(){

$("#Button1").hover(function(){
   alert("You entered Button!");
   },
   function(){
   alert("You now leave Button!");
 }); 

});

And how exactly is that supposed to work for a Winform application?

ZurdoDev 6-Jun-14 7:51am

They wanted it for the X button in the upper right corner of the window. And not ASP.Net. (I had misread it too.)
