Thanks all.
I scripted as if the delay was the duration the tooltip is displayed. Duh! Of
course the delay is hover delay before the tooltip shows! I knew that, and yet
somehow didn’t know it at the same time.
Cheers

You can do this. In a button script;
on mouseenter
set the tooltip of me to random(999)
end mouseenter
Now every time you move the cursor into that button, you get a new integer when
you hover.

Hi folks
I have an app in which tooltips are generally off. I also have a button menu
which allows the selection of equality/inequelity. Users are non technical,
and on selection (i.e. not the usual hover) I wanted to pop up a brief tooltip
describing the selected item in ordinary language (irrespective of whether
tooltips are globally on or off):
on menuPick pChosenItem
set the label of me to pChosenitem
switch
case pChosenItem = "="
set the tooltip of me to "Equals"
break
case pChosenItem = "≤"
set the tooltip of me to “Is at least"
break
case pChosenItem = "≅"
set the tooltip of me to “Is approximately"
break
end switch
set the tooltipdelay to 500
show the tooltip of me
set the tooltip delay to 0
end menuPick
It seems show the tooltip of me isn’t a thing. I appreciate that I could show
and hide an ordinary field, but I wondered if I have overlooked a suitable
message and/or syntax that will enable what I want.
Best Wishes,
David Glasgow
well, we cannot explicitely show a tooltip by script.
So "show the tooltup of me" will not work if it doesn't throw an error.
Problem in your script:
...
set the tooltipdelay to 500
## from this point the tooltip will appear in 500 millisecs
## show the tooltip of me
## but this will disable the tooltip again much EARLIER than the 500 millisecs!
## LC is too fast for this :-)
set the tooltip delay to 0
...
Best
Klaus
