I recieved two responses within minutes of sending this question out. Thanks to Dara Thompson and Lindsay Giles for their help. Here are the responses: 1. Change the label settings under layer control to the airport name field, just don't turn on the autolabel toggle. This works for any label setting, including expressions. The infotip uses the first selectable layer that has an object under the cursor. If othe rlayers come up, either move them down or turn their selectability off. 2. The label that is displayed when you mouse-over something in the mapper is dependant on the label you choose within the label function in layer control. So within layer control, highlight the airport layer, and then click on the label button on the right hand side. The top of the new dialog box should say "label with: " and you should be able to select which field you want shown. Original question: Has anyone been able to succesfully write a mousover function to be able to see, say the name of the airport instead of the ICAO code? The user can torn on/off the default infotips setting, but it is linked to whatever label is turned on at the time of use. There are a few ways to tackle this. What I did was to add the same data layer and place it at the top of all the layers. I made that layer invisible and set the autolabel feature to show the airport name, not the ICAO code. However, i did not turn the autolabel feature on. The airport name correctly show when mousing over. Some cool stuff that makes for a nice feature in MapInfo.
