  • Support of multiline tooltips
  • Support of inplace tooltips

TIP: If you use native Clarion multiline tooltips it is desirable to turn on MS Tooltips multiline support because our library removes all line folding to prevent of undesirable characters display.
  • Support colouring features. You can change tooltip text color and tooltip background color using template settings and/or at run-time;
  • Support tooltip text margins. You can setup all available margins (from left, right, top and bottom);
  • One of the usefull and worthy of special attention features is a full support tooltips for "non-tipped" controls like PANEL, GROUP, IMAGE, REGION, PROMPT, STRING;
TIP: I dare remind you that GROUP has TIP property in itself propery window but it does not works unfortunelly. With our library you can forget this "problem". Now it works!
TIP: Our library correctly tracks DISABLE/HIDE status of above written controls. If such control disabled or hided his tooltip does not appears.
  • Second of the worthy of special attention features is an ability to change tooltip text of any control at run-time using regular Clarion property PROP:Tip. After you setup new value it will be displayed when mouse pointer enter to control region (not REGION).
