OBJECT SET HELP TIP 


 

OBJECT SET HELP TIP ( {* ;} object ; helpTip ) 
Parameter Type   Description
Operator in If specified, object is an object name (string)
If omitted, object is a variable
object  Form object in Object Name (if * is specified) or
Variable (if * is omitted)
helpTip  Text in Contents of help message

The OBJECT SET HELP TIP command sets or dynamically modifies the help tip associated with the object(s) designated by the object and * parameters for the current process.

If you pass the optional * parameter, this indicates that the object parameter is an object name (a string). If you do not pass this parameter, this indicates that the object is a variable. In this case, you pass a variable reference instead of a string.

When the form is executed, help messages appear as help tips when the cursor moves over the field or object. Help tips can also be set using the Form editor and the Structure editor in Design mode.

Pass the contents of the message in the helpTip parameter. You can pass either:

  • a character string, for example "Use a / as separator",
  • an empty string "" to remove the help tip.
