you know, that text that pops up when the pointer is over an object

2012-04-12 Thread Dar Scott
I'm not remembering the name of the property for the text that comes up when 
you hold the mouse pointer over an object.  I browsed through the dictionary 
and nothing rings a bell.

Actually, it was tooltip that I could not remember.  However, I am inspired to 
think up a good reason to use the mouseText in something!  Thanks, everybody!

Point and shoot: set the tooltip of btn 1 to the mousetext

Jacque,


That sort of elegance brings tears of joy. It should be in either a tutorial, 
or a press release to C++ programmers on what they are missing.

Thank you for cheering me up, you two!  

I use the object inspector as an aid in remembering property names.  I thought 
I would just click on an object and look at the property inspector and 
immediately see what I was trying to remember.  Unfortunately, that doesn't 
work if I click on a group and don't notice.
