Jacques Paris e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] MapBasic-MapInfo support http://www.paris-pc-gis.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of HANNA MICHAEL (TOR1MMH) Sent: January 15, 2002 13:39 To: MapInfo-L Subject: MI-L Button Descriptions When creating or altering a button the HelpMsg clause causes the desired message to appear in the status bar when the button is held down. Is there any way in MapBasic to make a message appear under the cursor when the cursor simply rests over the button (without having to push it)? Just as the message "New Table" appears when the cursor rests over the New Table MapInfo Button. Michael Hanna UPS Canada Ltd.
