So I am working on some EFL programs for very young
children and ended up with a lots of drag and drop images -
now I could spend lines and lines of code of the sort:
if the name of it is "COW.gif" then do TIDDLEY POM
identifying each image individually - tedious, memory
hungry and inefficient.
Wow - Xavier - that tip about how to turn off tooltips is
extremely useful - Thanks a lot.
I have no problem with Drag and Drop nor with drop-targets
- and when I pull myself together and sort out my website I
shall pop an example up there.
I just thought I would share the idea about the tooltips
Dear Richmond,
To avoid the block of colour, wouldn't it be possible to add initial
of final letters to the object name rather than use the tooltip?
Another get around may be to produce a list of all pictures which are
supposed to react to the action, with a comma as separator, and then
a
Alex's suggestion of using custom properties is even better. I know
by my own experience that it takes a bit of time to take the jump and
come to trust custom properties (which don't exist in other
languages). When you do, you never look back. They are really handy.

Personally I find that tooltips are not very useful - and
have yet to get them to display Cyrillic.
Therefore they serve me very well for group / class
identifications
AND, thanks to Xavier (MC use-group list) I can hide them
away:
set the toolTipDelay to 0
and, at the moment I am spending most
Hi Richmond
you can turn off tooltips by setting the tooltipdelay global variable...
but im not sure what is the question for the rest...
You seem to have drag and drop mastered... or?
cheers

No big deal, it's in the docs ;) Search tooltip... Look at the
related items ;) Learn 1 feature, discover 3 - 10 more - try not
to recurse ;)

Sure for Cyrillic but I know many users of my software who are very
satisfied and reassured when finding relevant tooltips :-)

Well, there are 3 possible answers to why I don't use
custom props:
1. I have never bothered to learn how to use Custom props.
2. Tooltips seems rather straightforward.
3. I specialise in beeing bloody-minded.
Needless to say, in my case, all 3 are partly true!
