Adding user controls for Tooltips
In most cases you will want to provide controls that allow your users to turn tooltips On/Off or to change the shape of the Tooltips.
TipLink makes this easy!
The code to accomplish these tasks is automatically generated into the procedure you designate as MAIN.
Typically these users controls are added by providing a Clarion menu option titled Options and placing individual commands under them. This is an example of a typical setup:
Options
Show Tooltips
Balloon Tips
Normal Tips
You may decide not to allow the user to change tip shapes at runtime or you may decide to put the Show Tooltips menu on a different menu tree.
Note: Clarion does not allow a menu item with the Toggle attribute to be a root (top) level menu. In order to provide a good visual indicator to the user as to when Tooltips are enabled, we suggest creating this as a submenu item and using the Toggle attribute.
See the help section titled "The Code Templates" for details on how to enable these user controls.
