Tooltip for button?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax GUI Programming/Tooltip for button?

Hello!

Did someone manage to code a tooltip info for a normal button?

Means when you hover over a certain button with the mouse a tooltip will be displayed. Same as in Listboxes e.g..

Grisu

These may(?) be of help to anyone trying to add tips:

(hopefully I'm overlooking a much simpler solution)

I gave up after struggling with it for a bit. If restaurants operated like this, then asking for a napkin would result in the waitress telling you to go out back to plant a tree, to build a blacksmith shop to make the axe to cut it down with, and to construct a paper mill to process it. ;)

I looked over the link you supplied WendellM, and i figured it out. (wasnt that hard ;)

EDIT: Moved to Code Archives as suggested, Gadget Tooltips (Win32)

Wow... this is awesome. Thanks a LOT.

Should be placed into the code archives too.

Additional question:
Which modules do the functions need?

I'm using a framework and get the error:
"Identifier Tgadget not found"?

Sorry about that, forgot to add those ;)
Ive updated it now.

btw, these are the modules required:
Import BRL.MaxGUI
Import BRL.Win32MaxGUI 
Import PUB.Win32


Thanks again.
