Property String psToolTip
| Read Access: | Get psToolTip to StringVariable |
| Write Access: | Set psToolTip to StringVariable/Value |
ToolTips appear automatically when the user pauses the mouse pointer over a UI object. The ToolTip appears near the pointer and disappears when the user clicks a mouse button, moves the pointer away from the object, or simply waits for a few seconds.
The cToolTipController object, referenced by the phoToolTipController property, determines the behavior and appearance of the ToolTip. Normally your application has a single global ToolTip controller and your objects will automatically reference this controller.
ToolTips can display a single line of text or multiple lines. You can embed the CR LF characters in your ToolTip string to break the string into multiple lines.
Define CR_LF for (Character(13)+Character(10))
Set psToolTip to ("This is a ToolTip string that is split" + CR_LF + ;
"across two lines.")
| Note: | Embedded line breaks are only supported when the cTooltipController object's psTitle property is set to a non-blank value (this value can even be ""). |
If this is a data-aware control (such as a dbForm), then the ToolTip controller will attempt to set psToolTip according to the Status_Help string in the data dictionary for the table and column of this object's data binding (defined via Server). This feature is determined by the ToolTip controller's pbUseDDOStatusHelp property and by whether the data dictionary has a Status_Help setting for this table & column.
