UI mouseover tooltip





Hey all,

Does anyone know of a way to have a mouseover tooltip in the UI?  Mainly, I have a set of IconButton's and instead of using text on the buttons, I'm using an image and want the user to be able to mouseover the button and get a description of what it does.  This is easily done for the web, but I didn't see anything in ScriptUI that allowed for it.  I looked into the helpTip property but that didn't seem to be it.

I haven't really thought about if it would be possible to add manually.  The biggest thing to overcome I would think would be creating a floating StaticText/Window/Group/something that you could hide/show when the mouse was over the button.  Anyone ever try something like that?

Thanks!

Did you check your After Effect Preferences ?

**After Effect > Preferences > General > Show Tool tips**

The very first one

You can use SetCursorPos() to control the position of the cursor. It returns true is it succeeds and false if not. It takes 2 arguments int x and int y. You can use GetCursorPos() to retrieve the position of cursor. it returns the same as Set...() it takes one paramater a pointer to a structure of type POINT, which contains to values long x and long y. Also if you want to send Mouse clicks then you will need to look into the function SendInput() its well documented on msdn but feel free to ask for more information.



Chris when you create the buton are you setting up the event handler?



```
this.EditButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.EditButton_OnClick);
```

Normally this created behind the scenes by visual studio. sure:

div.editor-toolbar div button {

display: none !important;

} pretty simple to do, just select the tabs element which currently has no style to it. add a style and click the center align button for typography. easy peezy. tab visibility is currently only based on the user profile sheet. if you want to control tab visibility from a value in another sheet, you need to use relation/lookup, relation/rollup, or single value columns to bring in whatever value you need into the user profile sheet.

select the text that you want to change

go to the cut shape tab

click on the shape tab and look at the bottom of the tab and you will see the font name that you have selected

you can pick the font you want.

hope that’s what you were talking about

good luck

confluence makes aui’s buttons available through their product. since aui 7.2, aui’s buttons are styled with an alpha-transparent background colour so that they appear on light grey backgrounds.
