I have added tool tips,for a lot of elements in my app. by IB.
But after a while a user might them turn off. Is there a way to toggle tool tips (e.g. in a menu item) via the script? I have nothing found in ASS. Maybe there is a solution by ‘call method’? Has anyone an idea?
You want to add an option in your preference panel so the user can turn off tool tips or something like that ?
Either use tool tips in your app, or just come up with a solid help file. One or the other…
That way, if you dont want the user doesnt want to see tool tips everywhere (which can be annoying, I admit), then he can resort to the help file, you know ?
You understand me right. Exactly that’s what I would like to implement into my app: to turn off and on the tool tips in the menu bar. And that must be possible (some professional apps show that is possible!). But it seems to me a very complicated thing in C-programming. I hoped I got help in this forum, it is a pity.
You could set tooltip of each item to nothing “”, or to reenable, set the tooltip back to what its supposed to be. It might be sort of tedious, re-entering all of the tips as vars/properties at the beginning of the script. But it’ll work.
set tooltip of text field "mytext" of window 1 to ""
set tooltip of text field "mytext" of window 1 to "type your data here"
