TOOLTIP: (aka Bubble Help) Limits in Version 8.2


.....Is it possible to have a multi-line TOOLTIP message?

It is not possible to have a multi-line TOOLTIP message. Tooltips
are implemented using the standard MS Windows tooltip messages.
These messages accept as one of the parameters a 'C' string to
display. This string is displayed on the screen as a single line
of text.

.....Is there a maximum length for a TOOLTIP?

There is no hard coded limit to the length of the tooltip string.
However, the UIB places a limit on the number of characters which can
be entered from the Property Sheet. Using the Procedure Editor, you
can include longer strings, in effect, limited only by the width of
the monitor screen.


.....Is there a way to control the time a tooltip is visible?

The 4GL does not provide a mechanism to change the display time
of a tooltip.
