Douglas, I am pasting some code I've built here that should do what you want but when I try it, it returns a 401 error which is an authentication error. On that manual page you linked there is a notice about API keys and Channel keys, so maybe the key on this email is not the correct one.

We anticipate using more and more animation in our app. It is like Levure in the sense that it is has a lot of "view" module/stacks. For now I just need to cancel one or two. Which we can very easily do "locally" -- store the result and cancel on close card. But I wonder about a global library.

I went with submenus, and that works, it's just annoying for a binary value (even if binary really ends up being four options, as described). I'm going to leave it alone for now and wait for inspiration to hit. On Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 8:58 AM Bob Sneidar via use-livecode <

Actually, everything in a datagrid is an object of some sort with it's own tooltip (empty by default). There would have to be special code to display the tooltip for a datagrid instead of the tooltip for the object you are pointing at. I tested in a new stack and the tooltip for a datagrid
