Perhaps consider using the statusmessage. The message will be in the status bar for as long as the component has focus and takes a decent amount of text. The below onMouseOver function will set the statusmessage to the same contents as the speedtip for the control and set focus to the component without clicking it (good for pushbuttons as you probably don't want to push them just to see the statusmessage). No need to duplicate the speedtip in the statusmessage property. This will cause the status message to appear and stay in the status bar for as long as another component doesn't get focus, or for as long as the mouse doesn't move over another component that has the same event defined. function PUSHBUTTON1_onMouseOver(flags, col, row) this.statusmessage=this.speedtip this.setfocus() return Alternatively, use a Help form (:dUFLP:message.wfm) to display a more lengthy message with some formatting to make it easier to read and that users may want/need to write down some details from. You could attach the form to a rightMouseDown event. | |
