Hi,

 I found a solution for Mac for dynamically enabling/disabling help tags.
 I don't know the solution for Windows/Linux.
 Does anyone know how?  I'd like to give a checkbox for the user to
enable/disable tooltips (hints) on those platforms.


 Through googling, I found you could enable/disable HelpTags in OSX (not
classic), using the following code.  It works well,
placed inside the action() routine of a checkbox:

 dim result As Integer
 #if TargetMacOS
   Soft Declare Function HMSetHelpTagsDisplayed Lib "Carbon.framework"
(inDisplayTags as Boolean) as Integer

   if ( me.Value = True ) then
     result = HMSetHelpTagsDisplayed(True)
   else
     result = HMSetHelpTagsDisplayed(False)
   end if
   return
 #endif

 I may have to test for existence of the function later, but I'm not there
yet.

thanks!
wade
