Well, it's a minor detail. The really brilliant thing here is your idea of passing the function as a help-echo value, instead of a text string. It works like a charm! :-). (I didn't know that the help-echo property could accept a function as a value, and reading the documentation I realize that this has a lot of potential...). Best regards, And thanks again, Juan Manuel
