conditional tooltip

[Jorgitopeter]

Hi all!!! Maybe you know if it is possible to set a "conditional tooltip", I mean, a tooltip that appears only if there is more than 120 characters, for example...

Thanks a lot for asking and thinking!!!

Set the tooltip as a calculation, e.g.:

Case ( Length ( something ) > 120 ; "Tooltip text here" )

Great... I didn't realize that you can calculate the tooltip, thanks a lot...

By the way, is there any way to calculate that when FM put the info into 2 lines, the tooltip appears? I mean, when you write sth longer than the field length, and FM push down part of the text. Here I attached a pic to explain better... I'd like that when it's necesary to show to lines, the tooltip appears showing all the contents of the field...

Well, I hope my bad English don't mess this up :

Cheers!

You could set the field to a monospaced font, calculate how many characters fit into the field and do a check on Length().

Or you could just have the tooltip always show regardless of the length of the field.

ah, that would be great... how do I set a "monospaced" font? Which fonts are "monospaced"?
