Re: Hide tooltip instantly?

You are right Richard : working with a property is less time consuming than I thought. I redid the following test and the difference in execution time between the different methods is not significant for a few hundred iterations. Now, regarding my tooltip problem, I admit that if the solution propos...

Re: Hide tooltip instantly?

#1 Richmond suggests fairly goofy, simplistic solution. #2 Klaus or Stam suggest less goofy solution. #3 Jacque weighs in. You forgot the 4th point (and perhaps the most important): #4 and the OP was happy. :D @ stam : yes, I had considered this kind of solution but I feared a long execution time k...

Just change the 'mouseLeave' to 'mouseDown'.
OK, I'll try.
The real question is: is the tooltip hidden instantly if the tooltipDelay is set to 0 on the fly?
We'll see.

Re: Hide tooltip instantly?

Thank you richmond62 for your answer. I want the tooltip to be visible... as long as the standalone is in the foreground. And that it hides when the standalone comes on the background (on suspend). on mouseEnter set the toolTipDelay to 50 end mouseEnter on mouseLeave set the toolTipDelay to 0 end mo...

Hide tooltip instantly?

Hello, I have a little cosmetic bug in my AppLauncher standalone: sometimes, when an "icon" is cliked in order to launch the associated file, the "icon" tooltip is still visible on the screen, even if the icons window is closed and the standalone is no longer at frontmost. Sounds like a screen refre...

Re: Back To 1993

Between my wife and me we probably have 12-15 ancient Macs that still work.. Safe to say my man cave is a bit of a Mac graveyard ;) Haha, excellent :) After my G4 (tower), I only had laptops. Currently, I have a very old aluminum one (with a dead battery) which runs MacOS 9... and the one I use eve...

Re: Back To 1993

I don't remember what happened to my LC. I think I sold it to buy one of the first G4, which I was very proud of ;)

I had an overpriced LC II with a colour screen.
I also had this cute pizza box but quickly ran out of room inside to add hard drives.
Then, I bought a used Mac Quadra: a big empty box with a huge speaker.

Re: SeeColors - tool to preview colors

questionsanswered.jpg As you provide a Macintosh 32-bit version I would be interested to know with which version you have developed your software. 8) Well, with an old version of LC I presume ;) I started to develop SeeColors in 2008 and when I posted a Mac 64 bits version, somebody asked me to let...

Re: AppLauncher - MacOS files launcher

Thank you Bernd for your answer. I just compiled your sample stack with 9.6.11: though menu-article "Quit" is not greyed, it is disabled and that's not what I am looking for. I'm trying to disable the keyboard shortcut (cmd-Q), not the menu article. Previous Stam's script works to disable the keyboa...

Re: How to get the icon of a file?

I wrote an little external for my app for MacOS only. I'm a complete noob in objective-, foundation and this kind of stuff but I still managed, by copying and pasting bits of code found mainly in the work of Trevor DeVore. I can of course share this code if anyone here is interested. The main usages...
