Malcolm,
If you look in my Organizer project www.replacement-software.co.uk/blog I
use the tooltips to display the entry in a field when the mouse passes over
it (within the grid) in the same way as the Memo tooltip works. I did it
this way and you can change the actual tooltip used according to your needs:
Hope this helps.
Within the Gridhit() Event of the grid:
* As we scan down the grid with the MouseMove we action this routine
* if we are in column a particular column then set the tooltip to be the
full description
* of the event and display it
*
LPARAMETERS nButton, nShift, nXCoord, nYCoord
Local nXCoord_In, nYCoord_In, nWhere_Out, nRelRow_Out, nRelCol_Out,
nView_Out
Local cMessage
Local cTooltip, cCursor
nXCoord_In=nxCoOrd
nYCoord_In=nyCoOrd
nWhere_Out=0
nRelRow_Out=0
nRelCol_Out=0
nView_Out=0
* Only Set up the tooltip if we are in column 1
With This.grdData
* See where we are in the grid
.GridHitTest(nxCoord_In, nYCoord_In,@nWhere_Out,@nRelRow_Out,
@nRelCol_Out, @nView_Out)
* Display full tooltip if we are in column 1, 2 or 3
If InList(nRelCol_Out,1,2,3)
.ActivateCell(nRelRow_Out,nRelCol_Out)
cCursor=This.cEvent_Cursor
* The next instruction is the equivalent of:
Iif(Empty(X),Alltrim(Y),Alltrim(X)+chr(13)+Alltrim(Y))
cTooltip=Evaluate("Iif(Empty("+cCursor+".Static_Info"+"),Alltrim(" ;
+cCursor+".Description"+"),Alltrim("+cCursor+".Static_Info" ;
+")+Chr(13)+Alltrim("+cCursor+".Description"+"))")
.Columns[1].Tooltiptext=(cTooltip)
.Columns[2].Tooltiptext=(cTooltip)
.Columns[3].Tooltiptext=(cTooltip)
Endif
*
Endwith
*
Return

Subject: Showing cell specific tooltips in a grid and multi-column listbox?
What technique do you recommend for showing cell specific tooltips in a grid
or multi-column listbox?
Thanks,
