Hi Richard, 1. I suppose that the development team was for this option (no tooltips on disabled controls) since the contrary (as for me I would like it too) would mean having to script all tooltips dynamically at mouseEnter (what I do every day to such an extend that I wrote a tutorial

I've got a complicated dialog (too complicated! but it will look simple to the user I think), and I can't figure out how best to design it to deal with the messaging system. This card in the dialog has a column of half a dozen check-boxes, and a column of a dozen or so radio buttons in a

When you say wait, what do you really mean? Do you mean you want to force the user to click on a radio button before doing anything else? Or do you literally mean you want to force a delay of some sort? Assuming the former, one easy way to do this would be to put the checkboxes in a group

Charles, Just a guess, but did you look at the Target? That way you could put a mouseUp handler in the group and use either and if-then or a menuPick conditional structure in conjunction with the Target, e.g., pseudocode: on mouseUp -- at the group level if the Target is whatever ... end
