Tool-Tip Text for button

former_member202335 — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:38:03 GMT

Hello,

I have a button which I have statically associated with a tool-tip text.

I did this by setting the TooltipText to a text element.

However, when I run my program, the tool-tip does not appear

for the button. This button does not have any text it it, only an ICON.

Therefore, I need a tool-tip to inform the user about the functionality

of the button.

Can anyone please tell me how the display the tool-tip?

Best regards,

I think you need to set the "Quick info" field as well / instead.. the dynpro help indicates that "Tooltip Text supports the operation of the screen by visually-impaired users. The Screen Reader can communication to the visually-impaired user the meaning of an input/output field, provided it has a text that it can read, pick up, and communicate."

Hi Jonathan,

Where exactly do you set this 'Quick Info' field? I went to the screen layout and tried to find this field in the attributes of the button but could not find it.

Appreciate you inputs!!

If you created the Button in Screen painter in the Screen Layout then go to the screen layout and double click on the Button you will see the Screen Attribute window there where you assign the icon below that there is a provision to add the Quick Info.

Other-wise if you creating the button in the Application toolbar then put you text in info Text.

Hope it helps you,

HI,

Go to screen layout and double click on the button for which you are setting the toop tip text. Then Attributes window will open. In that window, Just below the 'Icon name' field, there is 'Tooltip' field. You give the tool tip text there.

Also Dont forget to save the layout. After saving come to flow logic and activate the program and run. Then it definetely shows the tool tip when you place the mouse pointer on the button.
