I am working with a status bar on a form.
First, I would like to have tooltips show up as the mouse hovers over each panel, but I can't get them to work. I have Show Tooltips on the General tab turned on, and I have added tooltip text to two panels, but I don't get anything when I hover over the panels. What am I missing?
Also, is there a click event for the statusbar or the panels? I would like to fire off an event when a click is made.
Thanks,
Sean
Tooltips in a status bar are only displayed if the text is greater that the space available in the panel. A trick is to add spaces to the string to display so it becomes longer than the available space.
Regarding the click notification, see my replies #4 and #6 in this thread: http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pbforums/showthread.php?t=39772&highlight=statusbar
