André,
Would you care to share your script? Thanks.
Tom
It's my pleasure, Tom
-----------------------
---In the script of the field :
Remind you : the field contains titles of texts (not wrapped lines) ;
some lines are too long to be entirely visible. To avoid the use of the
horizontal scrollBar (I maintained it anyway) the user can maintain the
mouseDown on a line, must have enough time to read the all line in the
toolTip or, at any time during the toolTip display, s(he) must be able
to stop displaying the toolTip.
----------------------------------------------
on mouseDown
set the toolTipDelay to 150
seeToolTip
wait 5 seconds with messages
set the toolTipDelay to 1
seeToolTip
end mouseDown
on seeToolTip
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 seeToolTip
on mouseUp
set the toolTip of me to empty
set the toolTipDelay to 500
exit to top
end mouseUp
------------------------------------------
Any idea to improve it welcomed :-)
Thanks again for your help (I learned much with your stacks).
Best regards from Grenoble
André

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
André
