I have finished the tooltips revamp so that we have an LFUN_TOOLTIPS_TOGGLE that is used to trigger a static signal Dialogs::toggleTooltips. Not only does it turn tooltips on and off, but we even get a cursor as a "?" in all dialogs that have initialised a tooltip. Not the main dialog though, because that doesn't use the default xforms cursor in the WorkArea and I haven't enquired further.
So all those nasty "Help" buttons that people have been complaining about have now gone. All works well with both the xforms 0.89 and 0.88 tooltip mechanisms. For those despairing of ever getting 1.2 out the door with Angus committing all these boody patches, fear not. As far as I'm concerned 1.2 is now ready to go! No more from me!!! I have one question, however, that perhaps Jean-Marc can answer: How do I create a little check box for the What's This entry in the Help menu, like the Emphasize Style entry in Layouts? Angus
