Why not have your own 'tooltip' field that you show for as long as
required. Set its layer so it is above the other field(s), update its
contents and move it to the mouseloc or nearby before showing it.
Then
hide it when ready eg, send 'disappear' to field "theTooltip" in 1
second . (The disappear handler being : hide me)
You are right ! I thought to this solution and I was keeping it in
reserve, in case of no success with the tooltip !
I kept trying the tooltip solution, because, In my current case,
(or if my current case then :-))), using the tooltip has an
advantage that has not a normal field : it possibly overshoots the
(right) edge of the window.
Currently, after studying the Tom' stacks, I scripted a tooltip
solution that consists (in summary) in calling twice the tooltip,
waiting 5 sec between the two ; and,just before the second call, I
reduce the tooltipdelay to the minimum (1) (resuming the default
value on mouseUp); thus, there is a very short interruption between
the two presentations, actually nearly unnoticeable.
Thanks a lot for your attention to my problem
Best regards from Grenoble

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your "Longer toolTip" stack. I would very much get
durations like those of button 2 or even button 3, that work very
nicely
But, in my case I can't, I am afraid ! I must manage lines of
text in a
field ; I can't use "on mouseEnter" ; I must use "mouseDown"
because I
need to get the text of the line on which the cursor is located, and
this, ONLY starting from an intended action from the user.
I tried diverse solutions inspired by your button 3 script, but
without
any success (Could be I miss some way)
As Éric told me, the best I obtained was flickering tooltips :-((
Anyway thanks a lot Tom ; I keep your solution in memory
Bests regards from Grenoble

Hello,
I have uploaded a sample stack to my user space that will display a
tooltip for a longer period of time than the standard tooltips
using
standard tooltips. It also shows how to display a multiple
tooltip but
that part does not always work for some reason.
User space: mcgrath3
Stack: Longer Tooltips in Revolution

occasionally????

Re Bonjour André,
Afraid there is no way to master the duration for which a
tooltip is
displayed.
The only thing you can do is to re-display the tooltip
repeatedly...
But flickering would probably appear...
Not a very good answer :-(

Hello,
The app. I am developing is a set of texts, one on each card.
On a special card, accessible from the homeCard, there is a field
that displays the list of all the titles of the texts.
Of course, this field has a vertical scrollBar but also an
horizontal one, because some titles are longer than the width of
the field.
I am not very happy about this horizontal scrollBar, from an
ergonomical point of view.
So I will keep it, but I would like to add a redundant way to
reading the ends of the longs titles.
Thanks to Tutorials Picker 2.0, that I « picked » on the site So
Smart Software of Éric Chatonet, I discovered « How to create
contextual toolTips on-the-fly ».
Reading this tutorial, I got the idea of using « toolTips ».
Below is the handlers I wrote in the script of the TitlesField :
----------------------------
local tLine
on mouseDown
put word 2 of the mouseLine into tLine
set the tooltip of me to empty
set the toolTip of me to line tLine of me
end mouseDown
----------------
on mouseUp
set the toolTip of me to empty
end mouseUp
---------------------------
I put this « mouseUp handler » because the toolTip stays there
for a
certain time that is constant before disappearing.
I want to avoid constraining the user to wait for all this time.
That works well but, on the other hand, this constant duration is
sometimes a bit too short to read comfortably the longs titles in
the toolTip.
There is my problem : Is there a possibility to set the
duration of
toolTip display ? In fact I would need to get it longer.
I searched diverse ressources (with « Ressources Picker », of
course) but I did not find any answer to this question.
Thanks in advance for any idea,
Best regards from Grenoble
André
