TOOLTIP question

[Otto]

Sometimes I redefine the used controls without inserting an object name.

REDEFINE GET cBetriebnr ID 103 of oDlg

Is it possible to inset tooltips without having an object name or do I have to insert object names.


REDEFINE GET oGet VAR cBetriebnr ID 103 of oDlg
oGet:cTooltip = “Help me”

Thanks in advance
Otto

Otto,

Since there is no TOOLTIP clause for REDEFINE GET, then yes you have to assign an object name so you can assign the tooltip.

You can always look at the .CH file (in this case FIVEWIN.CH) to see what all the available clauses are.

You can access the control through its position inside oDlg:aControls or find it using nId.

Thank you. Could you show me how to find a control by the nID.
Thanks in adance.

Otto,

see the SAMPLES\TESTFOC2.PRG.

Try it this way:

niD := 123
nPosition := aScan( oDlg:aControls, { |oCtrl| oCtrl:nID == nID } )

oDlg:aControls[nPosition]:cToolTip := "Hello"

Otto,

I use very often the controls from a dialog with their nId.

Before activating the dialog :

BuildDlgObj(@oDlg)

This procedure add as DATA to oDlg DlgObj (Hash array)

Code: Select all

******************************************************************************
PROC BuildDlgObj(oDlg)
**********************
LOCAL el
IF ! __ObjHasData(oDlg,"DLGOBJ")
	__OBJADDDATA(oDlg,"DlgObj")
END
oDlg:DlgObj := Hash()
WITH OBJECT oDlg
	FOR EACH el IN :aControls
		//IF el:nId > 9
		IF __ObjHasData(el,"NID")
			oDlg:DlgObj[el:nId] := el
		END
	NEXT
END
RETURN

To use a control we can now

oDlg:DlgObj[nId]

This is possible in each routine where oDlg is visible

Finding the control's ID seems like a lot more work than just assigning an object name.

Thanks to all for helping.

In many cases we have to pass this objects to sub routines. All objects ? which one ? A nightmare to synchronise to pass !

In mine code we have only to call ones BuildDlgObj , and later when it is necessary oDlg as parameter

Hi all

I'm basically a FiveLinux guy rather than FiveWin guy and I build my dialogs via code but the other logical alternative would presumably be to modify FiveWin.ch to support TOOLTIPS on a REDEFINE.
