dynpro button with tooltip

Former Member — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 11:39:13 GMT

hi,

i have created a button on a dynpro in screen painter. now i want to have a tooltip for this button (when you have a mouse over the button, the rectangular yellow box with some help text should appear).

in the properties of the button i assigned the property 'TooltipText' and assigned Text: value from variable.

In my top-include i created a string variable and assigned its text-value. But the tooltip does not appear.

Any ideas?

thanx, matthias

Hi,

just use quick info attribute option in the screen layout of button attributes

you can see quickinfo , write the text in that..

Hi Mathias,

In the button properties window put in the quick info text and it will appear during the run time...

Cheers

hi,

i see - it works with a regular button. Unfortunately i hav e a button, which i declared the name of in the top include as "g_butt(24) type c", because i change the text of the button-caption depending on its state. For such a button i have no quickinfo field in the properties window. That is why I fiddled around with those other atributes, which you also get from the properties window (blue arrow).

does anybody know about this approach? what does the toolTip field mean, if it does not bring across a toolTip?

regards, matthias

ps: and of course points for both of you

Hi Matthias,

What you can do is go to se51, element list tab,

v=click on the properties button for your Screen Button element, set the 'TooltipText" property as you want it,Maintain text choose the radio button, Value from variable and that variable you can conditionally populate in your program.

hi ravi,

that's exactly what i did and what i tried to describe in my first post. But it does not help. In the Debugger I see, that my variable for the tooltip is being populated correctly, but the tooltip doesn't show up.

any more ideas?

Hi Vijay Babu Dudla,

i don't really understand what you are saying. So you tried to go the tooltip way my way and it causes a dump?

By the way, I am not changing the tooltip variable.

What I am doing is this:

and I declare a variable for the button, also in top-include, for the button itself like this:

DATA g_butt(14) type c.

g_butt is the name of my button in screenpainter. i don't provide text for the button. instead the text (caption) is set during runtime.

But this is nothing to do with the tooltip - i only change the caption-text of the button. The tooltip is not supposed to be changed (at least in my case).

3) I declare a variable (in top-include, not in screen-painter) for the tooltip

DATA g_tooltip type string value 'here goes my tooltip'.

- then in screen-painter i assign this var. to the attribute tooltip of the button g_butt.

and the result of this is: it does not work B-]

But it'd be nice if it would...

regards matthias

hi,

just go to SE51 and then try to change the tool tip variable which you have assigned in the element list of the button.

(try to remove and assign new one). this is where i got the Dump.

Hi Matthias,

the post is a little bit old - but did you find a solution? I have the same problem with an output field.

Thanks,
