While editing code in Visual Studio, it will sometimes underline something I wrote, and when I hover over it, display a tooltip saying something like blah blah is obselete, please use this instead. See [some MSDN link]. However, when I try to move the mouse over the tooltip so I can click on the link or copy it to the clipboard, the tooltip disappears, since it’s set to only appear when I hover over offending the code, not over the tooltip.
Does anyone know a way to get at the tooltip contents? And if not… I’m not a UI designer but shouldn’t it be obvious to anyone designing such a feature that people need a way to get to the link other than typing it into the browser??
Try go to definition of method, open as metadata view and you’ll see the obselete attribute above the method with the text description
