?form activation?

Hi
I have a form with pageframe,pages with many tabs. I am using tooltips to
display more information about each tab. The problem is I must click on the
form (anywhere) before the tooltips will be visible. I want them to be
visible without clicking.
Please help and be specific as to where to put code.
Thanks
Sherry

I use the Init Event for each page to run the code each time a page tab is
selected.

Off the top of my head I would try and use the pageframes MouseMove and
OBJTOCLIENT( ). You will also have to figure out how to display the tooltip
I do not think you can do that through code in VFP.

Another thing to try is activating the form when the mouse is moved over it
it it is not already active. This way the user does not have to click on
it.

Good Luck
Tom

Hi
P.S. Is there a way to view the tooltip differently, like in color or a
different shape?

thanks

Sherry,
One solution might be an add-on. Go to the UT download area
(http://www.universalthread.com/wconnect/wc.dll?) and put 'anFoxGUI'
(without the quotes) in the title box and hit Enter.

Sherry,
I may not be understanding what you want but I have a form with 7 page taps
and as I move the Mouse over each tab I display a text that says what the
tab will do. I have set the SHOW TIPS on the form to .T. and on each page
tab I have the text written at the TOOLTIPTEXT. Works OK here using VFP8.

Hi

This is what I have done and it works,but the user must first click
somewhere on the form for this to work. Once they click the tooltips work
great. I have tried above mentioned mouseover and works on a test form, but
have not been able to try it on original form. (also if running from within
fox in project creation it works without the click but after building the
click is needed.)

thanks
Sherry

Sherry,
I do not have that problem even when I make an exe file and run it. I do not
bring up this form directly but call it from another form (My Main Menu)
which calls up this form that has 7 page tabs on it. When this form comes up
I do not have to mouse click anything. Just move the mouse over the tab and
the tool tip pops up. Do you call your form from another form or from your
program??

I have set enginebehavior to 70. Don't know if this makes a difference.

Calling it from a program may be the problem as you have not use the mouse
yet. Try using a form with a command button to call your page form. I think
once you use the mouse the tool tip may work for you without having to click
the mouse on the page form. At least that what works for me.
