Hello all I'm new to pb.
In PB 6.5 I want to add a "what's this" message on a button in order to
display a simple tip when mouse is on the button.
I've searched along but found nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many tnx
Bye

Think you can just use an external windows api call.

Hy, put the tip on the tag properties of the button.

Then you can display the tip on the Microhelp space writing the code on the
getfocus event. You can also use the RButtonDown event for display a little
floating menù with the "What's This..." item.

Else you can track the mouse position with PointerX/Y function and when it
matches the X/Y position of the button display the message.
