Feature Request - toolTip Text formating

Post by drswoboda »

Hi Jay,

Hey I am putting a lot of toolTip Text into my new forms (in Abeille). I'm wondering if there is any flexibility in the formatting of the displayed text.

As it is now, the text displays in a single text line across both my monitors (dual 1280 displays). Is it possible for the display of this text to be formated in shorter, stacked lines? Are there any hidding codes I can put into the text for line breaks?

Thanks,
-David

Try using simple html in the tool tips. Something like this:

Code: Select all

<html>Very long tool tip.<br>2nd line of long tool tip.</html>

I have also thought about making the tool tips more dynamic and setting them with the property descriptions from property file.

Thanks for the update on this, the html codes work perfect. More advanced tool tips would be great. I am putting lots of rules in tips to help remind me as I GM.

Being able to adjust the "stay on" time of the tips would also be nice. Longer is better in my case.

Thanks,
