ToolTips in MENUITEM
Hi all,
ToolTips use in many times are very useful and IMO it would be so good to have it in HMG, like this example:
In this article showing an way by creating a hook for this optional use.
According to MSDN there is already this property:

What do you think HMG Development Team ? Is it hard to implement in case ?

ToolTips in MENUITEM
Wanderfull, thank you Claudio !
This idea came from a need of user in PCToledo forum and I tried to imaging how it could be useful.
I've used much in Clipper's menus showing messages at something like as a StatusBar (footer of screen), but now with mouse is more visible in ToolTips.

ToolTips in MENUITEM
Hi All again !
Thank you for your interest and just to put more fire in this feature
And I wish to clarify some more, thanks to our colleague HASA in another forum has mentioned.
In MiniGUI Extended there is a MESSAGE property in MENUITEM but does not refer to a ToolTip, this message is being displayed at first StatusBar item (by _HMG_aControlValue).
This feature is quite the same style as Clipper in these SET MESSAGE TO <nLine> and @ ... PROMPT <cItem> MESSAGE <cMsg> commands (Clipper Reference).
An example using this mentioned syntax is at this example: C:\MiniGUI\SAMPLES\Advanced\FrameWork\demo.prg
In this example is using some more elaborated feature, because is having a C function that reads RC file, in order to take messages string pre-defined.
IMHO, all of these feature are very usefull. All kind information given by displaying, showing what each item does, it helps to the app user and is also making part of app documentary as a good practice.

ToolTips in MENUITEM
Our actual MENUITEM has following these options:
In my opinion, MENUITEM would be improved with some extra options, like as:
- DISABLED property (useful fo user's level in the system are not allowed to access specific menu items)
- CHECKMARK <cImage>
- FONT <cFont>
- And/or MESSAGE <bFunction> (this last property, would be for applying for ToolTips or routine to assign at StatusBar).
FONTCOLOR I do not know if would be implemented for different colors...
