Looking for a Plugin

[RossG]

Back in the days of Rev 3 I had a handy plugin which, on
mouseOver of a field, button etc., would show the name
of the field, button etc.

Much easier than going to the Inspector and even handier
now that my memory isn't as good as it was then.

Can anyone give me the name of this plugin? I've tried
all the likely ones I have but not found it.

Create a new stack,
put a field
then put this code:
########CODE#######
on openCard
mycheck
end openCard

on mycheck
put word 2 of the mousecontrol into temp
if temp is not empty then
if there is a control temp of the topstack then
put the name of control temp of the topstack into field 1
end if
end if
send mycheck to me in 1 sec
end mycheck
#####END OF CODE#####

Now you have your plugin.

Tried this but haven't got it to work.
Will have another go when the spirit moves me.

did you launch mychek at least 1 time?
the message OpenCard starts if you open a card, not on already opened card. Lauch it from the message box

FYI Someone suggested using tooltips for this:

Code: Select all

on mouseEnter
  set the tooltip of me to the name of me
end mouseEnter

What I usually do is type "name" into the message box, put the mouse over the control, and hit the return key.

You can get any property this way, provided the message box is set to act on the mousecontrol, which is the default setting.
