Does the suggestion on here help ?

I personally don't think that particular tool tip adds very much information. Could it simply be removed ?
Thanks
Actually how do you add a linked object ? I can't seem to make this feature work or find anything in the help document
I'm obviously missing something obvious
It just keeps saying no objects
Hello,
This shadow isn't from a tooltip, it's from the popup menu, so your suggestion won't help.
If there's no foreign keys in your database, there'll be no suggestions for linked objects. You can add some constraints to the Metadata Container programmatically. Or may be you want to hide that button?
Yes hiding the chain link button would be good as the relationships and business rule are not stored in the SQL database
Ok, we'll do this. But please note that you can add business rules to the metadata container by yourself, so user will see related objects, and objects will be joined automatically: this will ease the query building process.
Thanks very much for considering this. You point about adding business rules to the metadata is noted. Thanks
I've just tried a DF version of the code on this page
http://www.activedbsoft.com/helpdesk/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=41
It worked and auto created the relationship between the two tables and when dragged them into the design area
When I click on the link chain the child table was shown and clicking on it brought another copy of it onto the design view linked to the parent
The drop shadow is still left behind after use
So I think the option to remove the link in the first place is better (for us .... but I appreciate we are not your only client!!)
Set the ShowLinkedObjectsButton property to false to hide that button.
Hello,
Different popup menu objects can leave this shadow. This is known problem, but it looks like a bug in VCL or something like that. We can't impact on this shadow in any way. Sorry.
