mouse-over help

[lmd2]

I understand about tip-strips and mouse over help in general, what I am looking for is to be able to dynamically display help for individual items in a multi-column list box.
Is this even do-able??
I am using LabVIEW 7.1.1 on Windoze
TIA

You should be able to do this with event structures, register for the mouse move for the control, get the coordinates off the mouse and compare it to the listbox coordinates, some simple math will allow you to determine the cell you are hovering over, write the tool tip property for this cell and when the tool-tip pops up it will have the correct information.  This is just a thought, I haven't implemented this yet.

Here is a primitive example took only a few minutes to write, try it out and see if this works for you.

thanx,
I figured it would be doable (almost everything is with LabVIEW) -
didn't expect it to be so straight forward though

thanx again

I am sure that there are other methods but this was the easiest I could think of.
