little issue and question about beta 2 - Resolved
Jan 15^th, 2007 at 7:45am

- When using the tooltip popup in the new beta 2 release, only the contour of the tooltip is displayed without showing the message text.

- In your mail of pending issues Excel-functionality isn't mentioned and I can't find it in the beta's. But maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks for the new version with the nice new features!

Hmm... can't duplicate. does yours not look like the one shown here?

Future version. It will probably be soon, since this is a popular request.

As you can see in the attached screenshot my tooltip is empty (displayed in the action column), whereas in V5 I can see the text in the same as in your example. Perhaps it's a setting? It looks that the size of the empty tooltip is based on the command text of the Tooltip Popup: when increasing the length of the text the contours are getting bigger also.

The other post concerning tool tips is listed here. It was also an issue with a user using Win 2000. His name was Tom, so I thought it was you posting under a different username.

Tooltips have been completely rewritten, and there are no known issues. Let me know if you have problems using the latest beta, which has a timestamp of Feb 1.

If you do have an issue still, please:

1) Verify that you have the Feb 1 version
2) Select the "Step - New" menu item. Do you have a tool tip from that? it uses the same code
3) Hold your mouse for a second or two over a button inside of the Properties window. do you see a tool tip?

This also uses the exact same code that is run for the Tool Tip action.

I'm fairly certain that the Beta that was uploaded a few minutes ago takes care of the problem for you - faulty code was identified (and corrected) in the tooltip section.

- I'm indeed using the 1- feb version.
- when selecting the menu-item step en then leaving the mouse on the new menu_option I see no tooltip appearing. However clicking on this new menu-option a balloon message is displayed (to add an new step, drag or double-click an command in the Actions tree).
- Inside the properties window a tooltip is displayed.
Also when hoovering over the button bar tooltips are displayed.

Also I've tried to change the option under general "show pop-up tips and Vistarunner hints". This has no effect after restarting Vistarunner (even on displaying the tooltips of the button bar).

I'm using Windows XP SP2.

Hi Tom, after reading the results in your last posts, I have an idea of what it might be - a few of the asynchronous "User Msg" actions got updates, and Tooltips should probably have been in that group. After thinking about it some more, they are most likely getting blocked due to being on the same execution thread. Moving to the UI thread will probably resolve the issue.

I'll work on that today. And thanks for your comment about not holding up the release.
