Hi All,

What is the best way to show the tooltyp only when a condition is true (the hilite of a btn "help" p.e) ?

Probably the easiest way is to save all the different tooltips in a custom property set, and change the tooltip upon mouseEnter.
You can define custom properties by script via a button or the message box, or manually using the Inspector palette in the Rev IDE. Let's assume you've created a custom property set named "uTooltips" and have three conditions "green","yellow" and "red".

Code: Select all

on mouseEnter
  -- insert some logic to decide on the condition
  -- and put it into a variable named 'tCondition'
  put "green" into tCondition
  set the tooltip of me to the uToolTip[tCondition] of me
end mouseEnter

HTH,

Jan Schenkel.
