The only way I managed to do this was by faking my own Tool Tip style
windows.
I did this a long time ago and can't find it anymore, but basically I
used a cople of rectControl extension functions and a dicitonary that
stored the tooltip as a value against the rect control a a key. I'd
then display the tooltip in a floating window that I'd made up to
look like a floating tooltip, but you could probably even use overlay
windows if you'd prefer. I chose to show them a couple of seconds
after mouseenter, and then hide them on mouseMoved/mousedown/keydown
or mouseexit events.
Basic Extneds were something like this:
//Setter
Function ToolTip(extends r as rectcontrol, assigns s as string)
if s<>"" then
ToolTipDictionary.key(r) = s
else
if ToolTipDictionary.haskey(r) then ToolTipDicitonary.removeKey(r)
end
End Funcion
/Getter
Function ToolTip(extends r as rectcontrol) as string
if ToolTipDictionary.haskey(r) then return
ToolTipDicitonary.value(r)
End Function

I am trying to find a way to make the help tags stay open longer in
my app. On RB items like listboxes, editfields,etc, you can put a
bit of help text, that pops up when the user puts his mouse over
the item when the app is running. However, they seem to disappear
after 10 seconds. Is there a way to make them stay open as long as
the user hovers over the item?
thanks
Greg
