Hi Mike,

Yes, you can put a method behind the $tooltip property to do this:
$tooltip = [$cinst.$myMethod()]

Then put whatever code you want in that method to detect the tooltip being
fired.  Finally have the method return a string that you would want
displayed for your particular tooltip.

Regards,

Alan

Hello All,

Can you detect when the tooltip is shown and then do something as a
result?  I’m still looking at options for a good way to access a user guide
for the relevant part.

This part of the guide would just be for ‘what is this field?’, rather
than ‘how do I do a function?’ Or ‘What is this screen for?’ kind of
question.

Those questions come later, as writing and integrating a user
manual/guide/tech ref is really hard.  Maybe a good topic for
