Disabling tool tips...please

Does anyone know how to disable tool tips in IE 8 or IE 7.
Tool tips get in the way of recording and make for unsightly screen captures.
I know there is a way to do it in Firefox, but so far I cant find anyway for IE 8 or IE 7.
I am suprised the Adobe people do not have any published solution for this problem.
Masking over pesky tooltips can waste many hours in development time.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Ryan,
I just wanted to find out if you ever found the answer to your question as I have the same problem as you do!!! If not, would anyone be able to help us out?
Thanks so much!

Delay or Disable Tool Tips?

It's a minor annoyance, these tool tips. I do most of my Finder work in List view, and when a file or folder has a really long name the Finder, trying to "help" instantly pops up a tool tip with the full name. Except I don't need/want this kind of "help". It inevitably interferes with double-clicking the folder I'm looking at (since it pops up instantly and seems somehow to be between the pointer and the folder). So how the heck can I make it wait a few seconds before "helping" me? I've searched around, but I can't see if anyone else has gotten a satisfactory answer to this question.

I give up. Apple has apparently made it impossible to disable tooltips. I hope they change their minds about this in the future and choose to give their users the ability to disable tooltips.

Disabling tool tips?

Whenever I open a large number of tabs in Safari, the tool tips will randomly stop working on each tab, and then I will suddenly get tool tips blinking rapidly near the cursor, which has the effect of locking up Safari for a period that is equal to the amount of tool tips that were not initially displayed.
I don't need the tool tips to begin with, is there some way to turn them off entirely?

Thanks for the suggestion but I actually already have Windows Tips disabled (through the Windows Explorer menu). But they're still showing up in Premiere. I tell you - it's 2011 but we still can't get consitency between Adobe apps. Photoshop? Turn Off Tool Tips. After Effects? Turn Off Tool Tips. Premiere? You're stuck with 'em.
Thanks,
Marc

How to disable tool tips in JRC

Please let me know how to disable tooltip in browser for JRC

I do not think it is possible to disable tooltips with JRC.
But in RDC you can try to turn off all the tooltips for the reportobjects, including objects within the subreport with the snippet code below:
Dim i As Integer
Dim ii As Integer
Dim iii As Integer
Dim iiii As Integer
For i = 1 To Report.Sections.Count
    For ii = 1 To Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects.Count
        Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects(ii).ConditionFormula(crToolTipTextConditionFormulaType) = "chr(9)"
        If Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects(ii).Kind = crSubreportObject Then
                Set subreport = Report.OpenSubreport(Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects(ii).SubreportName)
                    For iii = 1 To subreport.Sections.Count
                        For iiii = 1 To subreport.Sections(iii).ReportObjects.Count
                            subreport.Sections(iii).ReportObjects(iiii).ConditionFormula(crToolTipTextConditionFormulaType) = "chr(9)"
                        Next iiii
                    Next iii
        End If
    Next ii
Next i

Disable balloon tips?

Hi-I'm trying to disable balloon tips in my applications like Photoshop, Quark etc. I found on:
http://www.macworld.com/article/55202/2007/02/termtooltips.html
that you have to go in "Terminal" and paste a script:
defaults write -g NSInitialToolTipDelay -int 10000
It says it stalls tool tips for 10 seconds. I'm not sure if that will work in OS 10.6
And I'm not that savy with scripts to restore default settings and besides I found it effects Spotlight.
Isn't there an easier way to disable tool tips?
Thank you-j

No.

Spry Tool Tip problem - Help please!

When I add a tool tip to my template, it does not work when I roll over the object, and it shows the the text it is supposed to display at the bottom of the page.
It works fine on other pages where I've tested it, but not on this site.
Here is a page where you can see what it's doing.
Thanks!

Hi Bill,
could it be that your DW doesn't "find" your SpryAssets directory? I've intendedly nested it very deep and it works like a charm. In this case I had to write:
<script src="../../SpryAssets/SpryTooltip.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="../../SpryAssets/SpryTooltip.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

How to get rid of annoying tool tips while editing SQL files

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 to edit an .SQL file and I have attached the editor to a local SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
While editing the string that is passed to a sp_executesql procedure it keeps popping up a tool tip saying:
"Parameter help is not supported for extended stored procedures"
Generally I don't care about that and it is annoying because it keeps appearing over the top of the text I want to read. Is there any way to stop Visual Studio doing this?

Hi aptitude,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
>>I'm using Visual Studio 2013 to edit an .SQL file and I have attached the editor to a local SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
Could you share us more information about this issue? You said that you edit the .sql file, which kind of app did you create which would use the .SQL file? Whether it is related to the SQL Server database project or others?
If it is related to the SQL Server Database project, please post this issue to the SSDT forum:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=ssdt

But if it is related to the SQL Server, to really repro this issue, and make sure that whether this warning is related to the SQL scrip or others, maybe you could select a better forum here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?category=sqlserver
If I have misunderstood this issue, maybe you could share us a simple sample and the detailed steps in your new reply, so we could really repro this issue in our side.
In addition, I did some research about the warning message:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173434.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
The IntelliSense functionality of the Database Engine Query Editor does not support all Transact-SQL syntax elements. Parameter help does not support the parameters in some objects, such as extended stored procedures. For more information, see
Transact-SQL Syntax Supported by IntelliSense.
In SQL Server, it seems that it is related to the IntelliSense, I'm not very sure that whether it is related to the IntelliSense of VS IDE, but generally we could enable or disable IntelliSense under TOOLS->Option->Text Editor in VS
IDE.
Maybe you could disable IntelliSense in VS IDE, and then check it again.
If I misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.

I would like to see the actual email address in a Tool Tip when I mouse over the From address

I use Thunderbird to access my IMAP email account with a non-enormous ISP. Thunderbird is a great email client.
One thing I really miss when using Thunderbird vs. going to my email using a browser: in the browser, when I mouse over the From email address, a tool tip pops up showing me the actual email address, not the alias (or whatever it's called). Please see the attached image for an example of the mouse over tool tip. Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird?

more misinformation and urban myths here than facts.
1. Thunderbird blocks remote images by default.
2. Thunderbird does not allow scripts in mail. If they are there they do not run.
3. The only link SPAMMERS or anybody in marketing gets to you is when you download their remote images, run scripts in the mail or click on links to go to their web sites.
4. When I or a spammer send a mail to say [email protected] Most mail servers will refuse delivery unless the address exists on their server.
5. True spammers do not care if a large percentage of the mail they send is to dead email addresses and they make little or no effort to validate active addresses. Corporations like Walmart, Woolworths here in Australia, Ebay and Paypal are very interested.
With that knowledge, you are now aware that opening the mail tells a spammer nothing even in the remote chance they are interested.
Oh and the source of the urban myth is Microsoft whose mail clients allow scripting, remote images and uses the file extension of the file not it's mime type to determine how to open it.
That is the difference between a mail client where the developers think security first and one where the developers give the user what they want and try to tack on security after the fact.

By the above code ,I am getting the tool tip with the value "a" in all locations.
But I need to have different values in the tooltip corresponding to the location.
Please Help....
Thanks in advance,

hi,

Irritating Tool Tip on image file location

My complied web help (RoboHelp Word) shows an irritating tool
tip on the location and file name of the images when the mouse is
placed over the images. How do I disable this?

Hi jothi21 and welcome to our community
Personally, I try like heck to avoid mixing Word and
RoboHelp, but it does appear here that you actually LIKE this
combination.
If this were RoboHelp HTML. I'd tell you to double-click the
offending image and look in the
Screen tip field. I'm hopeful here that Word might offer the
same thing if you double click your image there. If not, try right
clicking the image and see what options you have. The goal is to
see if RoboHelp will offer some option to insert the same thing in
the RoboHelp for Word version.
Cheers... Rick

Dynamic tool tip

Hi guys
I'm wondering if it is possible to have the tool tip for a dropdown box based on the entries in the drop down box.
so if the user could select "a", "b", or "c" from the drop down box, the tool tip would read "a / b / c"
I could of course type it out manually, but I have several dozen and a universal script would be much quicker.
Thank you

Hi,
Adobe have an excellent guide to "Calculations and Scripts", it goes back to v6 but is still applicable today. I can't find it on the Adobe web site so I will upload it.
It covers a lot of visual feedback script and is grouped by object type which is very handy. The information is probably available elsewhere, like the help file (but sometimes you need to know what you are looking for; in order to find it).
Anyway something like this in the exit event:
var vAnswer = this rawValue;
switch(vAnswer)
     case "a":
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "You have selected A";
     break;
     case "b":
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "You have selected B";
     break;
     case "c":
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "You have selected C";
     break;
     default:
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "Please select between a, b, or c";
     break;
Hope that helps,
Niall

OBIEE 11g : Tool tip on a report link

Hello All,
Is it possible to add a mouse over tool tip to a report link on a dashboard page (not on column heading) ?
The dashboard currently has descriptions for the report links to see what is the report usage and it is eating up a lot of space , the idea is to eliminate this notes section and provide information to the user so as to what the report is as a tool tip.
I have seen OTN threads on tool tips on to reports and column headers but I would like to just specifically add the mouse over pop-up to a report link that exists on a dashboard page.
Any suggestions , please advice.
Thanks,
-VS

There is a way using JavaScript, right now I dont have code to share with you.
Assuming your report name is "Summary Report", using JavaScript search for this "Summary Report" on dashboard and apply CSS script something like mouseover.
You may get code in pieces on net, try it out.
I too try to help you with code but take some time ;)

Tool Tip(Mouse Over)

Hello All,
I need to create a Tool Tip (Mouse Over) in BI. Requirement is *" I have a dashboard report which shows the different trends by arrows going up & down. When i take my mouse over the Up arrow, a text should come up which says 'Trend is up, because you gained as compared to last quarter'. similarly for Arrow going down. "*
How to create such tool tip (mouse over) in BI. Please suggest.
Regards,
Ashish A.

Hi Ashish, first of all, I am not sure to do a Tool-Tip-Text for Column Headers.
As far as the column formulas, you can still use the code i sent and embed in the already updated column.
Ex: Lets assume you have updated the formula of the column Products."Product ID" as REPLACE(Products."Product ID",'000','1111') || '_PD'. To show Products.Product_Name as a tool tip to the updated ProductID, you can embed the code as
'OpenTag div title=" '|| Products.ProductName || ' " closetag' || REPLACE(Products."Product ID",'000','1111') || '_PD' || 'opentag /div closetag'
Thanks

Remove Rectangle Tools' size tool tips from the corner

I use the Rectanle Tool a lot and Photoshop CS6 is the first PS version i see displaying some tool tips in the corner every time i draw with it.
Like this: http://image.bayimg.com/950a1aaf53be690dc9eadf7635aedd4aaf224e9f.jpg
This is very annoying since it overlaps pieces of my black&white images distracting me.
Is there any way to disable it?

Wow. I looked at that page several times and finally i had to google the option to actually notice that drop down menu
Thanks, conroy.

How to show Tool Tip to the XGlobe Component

Hi Expert,
I am new to the Xcelsius.I have an requirement and need your valuable inputs.
I am using the XGlobe component, in which i have used alerter on it, by using the pins. I have 200 countries to show on the globe. It is not possible for anyone to remember all those countries from the Globe component and click on that country and get the required value. I am using QAAWS to develop this dashboard
So to make it easy i need to show the tool tip on the pins of the Globe so that i can easily know the country name.
Please help me out on this.
waiting for your inputs.
Thanks in dvance,
Sandeep

Hi Charles,
Thanks for your reply, I have already used the text box to catch the values from the Globe.
But as there are too many countries (around 200) and everyone is not able to understand the geographical location of the country on the globe, so every time the user needs to click on the pins to get the desired country.
Is there any add ons or an external component which i can use with Globe or anyother way to show the Tool Tip.
Regards,
Sandeep
