Incorporating Tooltip Details
ToolTips allow you to define a help text message for a text field or text variable. A ToolTip is a runtime attribute that can be defined for the following widgets: browse, button, combo box, editor, fill-in, image, radio-set, rectangle, selection-list, slider, text, and toggle box. However, they are typically used with a button widget. Progress automatically displays this text when the user pauses the mouse pointer over a widget for which a ToolTip value is defined.
You can define ToolTip values using the TOOLTIP option available for the DEFINE family of statements, the VIEW-AS phrase, or setting the TOOLTIP attribute of a widget. You can add or change the TOOLTIP value at any time. If a ToolTip value is set to either “” or ? (the unknown value), then the ToolTip is removed. The default is no ToolTip.
For more information on setting ToolTip values, see the specific DEFINE statement, VIEW-AS phrase, or widget reference entry in the Progress Language Reference .
