Hi folks
I have an app in which tooltips are generally off. I also have a button menu
which allows the selection of equality/inequelity. Users are non technical,
and on selection (i.e. not the usual hover) I wanted to pop up a brief tooltip
describing the selected item in ordinary language (irrespective of whether
tooltips are globally on or off):
on menuPick pChosenItem
set the label of me to pChosenitem
switch
case pChosenItem = "="
set the tooltip of me to "Equals"
break
case pChosenItem = "≤"
set the tooltip of me to “Is at least"
break
case pChosenItem = "≅"
set the tooltip of me to “Is approximately"
break
end switch
set the tooltipdelay to 500
show the tooltip of me
set the tooltip delay to 0
end menuPick
It seems show the tooltip of me isn’t a thing. I appreciate that I could show
and hide an ordinary field, but I wondered if I have overlooked a suitable
message and/or syntax that will enable what I want.
Best Wishes,
