show tooltip on btnbmp

[Silvio.Falconi]

I made a plan of the beach with btnbmp
I show the beach in a window created with the btnbmp controls.
Depending on the day / date range, different types of btnbmp are displayed
when the operator wants to search for a customer, he inserts the name and surname to be searched for in a high place on the explorer class
the procedure must show the name and surname of the customer with a tooltip when the operator performs a search of the client (for that day or for that period already displayed)
how can I display this tooltip without the operator moving the mouse on every btnbmp?

Silvio,

oBtn:ShowTooltip()

[Silvio.Falconi]

yes of Course
but perhaps I not explain good
the final user searche for the client's first and last name

I have 200 btnbmp the beach umbrellas

I want to display the tooltip at the same time in all the btnbmp

It is possible that in the archive there are many customers who are called with the same name and are in different umbrellas

so if the user is looking for the opening procedure he must display the tooltip in all the buttons at the same time

so on the video the operator can see where the customer x is located

[Silvio.Falconi]

BUT not run I cannot see the tooltip

For n= 1 to 4
@ nRow, nCol BTNBMP aBtn[ n ] RESOURCE GiveBmp(nStatus) ;
SIZE OMB_W,OMB_H PIXEL OF oDlg ;
FLAT TOP COLOR CLR_WHITE NOBORDER ;
TOOLTIP cPosNome

next

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED ;
on init Mostra(aBtn)
RETURN NIL

Function Mostra(aBtn)
for n= 1 to 4
aBtn[n]:showtooltip()
next
return nil

any solution please ?

To the best of my understanding, only one tooltip can be shown at a time.

Hi Mr. Rao,

Is it possible to set duration of tooltip showtime?

[nageswaragunupudi]

Is it possible to set duration of tooltip showtime?

Yes.
Assign an array to cToolTip

cToolTip := { cToolTipText, [cHeader], [Icon], [nClrFore], [nClrBack], [nWidth], [nDelayInSeconds] }

Note: Color settings do not seem to work in Windows 10

Mr Rao,
I cannot show the tooltip on the btnbmp I wish ( without mouse over)

I explain you
I have a dialog with many btnbmp I use to show Umbrellas of a beach
When I search on customer I must show the tooltip on umbrellas where is the customer 

I use reserva.dbf Of Tplan sample : the roomID is the number of Umbrellas ( btnbmp) I show into this dialog

1 . search on reserva.dbf   -> check_in and check_out  date past and  name of customer 
2. if found it I have the number of umbrellas ( roomID)
3 the procedure must show a tooltip on btnbmp

here there is a test ( I sent to Antonio last week)

Code: Select all  Expand view

// search a customer into Beach

   local nHeight := nBottom * DLG_CHARPIX_H


   local nOmbrelloni := 10 // Total number of Umbrellas
   Local aBtn[ nOmbrelloni ] // number of Umbrellas

 RDDSetDefault( 'DBFCDX' )
  DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-14

 DEFINE DIALOG oDlg SIZE nWidth, nHeight PIXEL;
 FONT oFont    Title "Searching a customer"

 nRow  := 60

 FOR n= 1 to nOmbrelloni

      FLAT TOP COLOR CLR_WHITE,CLR_GREEN NOBORDER ;
      TOOLTIP "Umbrella:"+Ltrim(str(n))
    nCol  += OMB_W

   next

   Activate Dialog oDlg Centered ;
   on init Searching(aBtn)

RETURN NIL

//------------------------------------------------//

Function Searching(oControl)
  // After the search I found the customer
  // the customer is on umbrella  number 4
 // now I must show the tooltip on this button

   Local searched:= 4
   Local cCustomer:="Antonio Linares"
   oControl[4]:showtooltip(,,cCustomer)
   oControl[4]:refresh()

Hi Mr. Rao,

How can I adapt it to xbrowse bToolTip?

[nageswaragunupudi]

Please stop using bToolTip. This requires very complex code and now it is obsolete.

Instead use, bCellTooltip

Code: Select all  Expand view

oBrw:bCellToolTips := { |oMouseCol| oMouseCol:StrData }

Can I show the tooltip of one btnbmp without move the mouse over ?
