Usage
You can use the Selected event to display MicroHelp for the
menu item. One way to store the Help text is in the menu item’s
Tag property.
Examples
This example uses the tag value of the current menu
item to display Help text. The function wf_SetMenuHelp takes
the text passed (the tag) and assigns it to a MultiLineEdit control.
A Timer function and the Timer event are used
to clear the Help text.
This code in the Selected event calls the function that sets
the text:
|
1 |
w_test.wf_SetMenuHelp(This.Tag) |
This code for the wf_SetMenuHelp function
sets the text in the MultiLineEdit mle_menuhelp;
its argument is called menuhelpstring:
|
1 |
mle_menuhelp.Text = menuhelpstring |
|
1 |
Timer(4) |
This code in the Timer event clears the Help text
and stops the timer:
|
1 |
w_test.wf_SetMenuHelp("") |
|
1 |
Timer(0) |
