Change tooltip in runtime mode

Question

Hi
Is possible to change the tooltip text in runtime ? I try this but it's doesn't work:
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('B1.TEXT_ITEM5',TOOLTIP_TEXT,'message') (it's in when-mouse-enter trigger of the item)
Thanks in advance

Forms Help says:
Changing a tooltip's property in a When-Mouse-Enter trigger cancels the tooltip before it is ever shown.
So, I guess you cant use this trigger for changing tooltip.
Howewer you can create a small display item (call it "mytooltip", no bevel, visible false)
Now you can code in when-mouse-enter of your item:
:mytooltip:= 'message';
set_item_property('mytooltip', visible, property_true);
set_item_property('mytooltip',position,
get_item_property(:system.trigger_item,x_pos),
get_item_property(:system.trigger_item,y_pos)+:system.mouse_record_offset*get_item_property(:system.trigger_item,height));
dont forget to create also WHEN-MOUSE-LEAVE trigger:
set_item_property('mytooltip', visible, property_false);
