Problem in popup that appear when mouse is rested on a ribbon control.

I have developed a Word Application level Add-in for providing some DTP facilities specific to my native language.
In Word 2010 when the mouse is rested over a ribbon button then a popup appear with description about the button and prompt to press F1 for add-in help. as in following picture
When the mouse is moved the popup disappears.
However in Word 2013, the popup remains there and the lower portion of the popup becomes a hyperlink and when clicked it launched Word help in default browser.
How can I prevent this behavior and instead load my addin's help file?
Waiting for an early response.
Regards
Dharam Veer Sharma

Hello Dharam,
The Fluent UI extensibility model doesn't provide anything for handling the F1 button or clicking on the popup window for help out of the box.
Possible workarounds are described below:
1. Implement a keyboard hook to handle the F1 button. See
SetWindowsHookEx for more information. The
Using shortcut keys to call a function in an Office Add-in article provide a sample code to get started.
2. Use the
Microsoft Active Accessibility for detecting Ribbon controls and popup windows (the context). You can read more about that in the
Custom Ribbon Help for Office 2010 VSTO Add-ins article.

  • How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

    Hi people,
    I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
    The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
    Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

    Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
    <div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>

  • How to delete "Other" partition in yellow color that appears when I connect my devices to the laptop, it's a giant one (4 GB)

    Hello, I would like to know how to delete the yellow partition named "Other" (in italian "Altro") that appears when I connect all my devices to the laptop. This partition in Ipad comes with 4 Gb that for an instrument of 16 seems a bit too also because it far exceeds anything else. So far not been able to find useful information and is a very common problem. Thank you.

    Thank you very much, but it's not so simple. I read somewhere in this same forum that:
    I quote: "That large of "other" is corrupt data. Try restoring your phone from backup first, followed by syncing your content back to the phone. If restoring from backup does not fix things, you will have to restore as a new device to get rid of it. There is no way to directly delete it, other than restoring your phone."
    First of all it's terrible, (but we know that itunes is very far to work properly, it's a store) and how many times a day we should make a restoring? and if it does not have we to buy another device? I cannot believe that there aren't other solutions.

  • What should I do about an odd icon on the desktop that appeared when I restored my iPhone?

    I have an odd icon on the desktop that appeared when I restored the software in my iPhone, and I do not know what to do about the strange file.  The scenario is as follows:
    Recently I was having some problems with the proximity sensor on the iPhone, and I read that if one restored the software on the iPhone, this often allowed the sensor to be calibrated and it would work properly.  Thus I synchronized (backed up) the iPhone and then wiped it out and reinstalled the software.  At the point iTunes asked me did I want to restore the phone from a backup, I decided that since I did not to re-import any corrupted stuff from the old installation that might affect the operation of the proximity sensor, then I would start over and just set it up as a new phone.  I was able to get what little I wanted of stuff otherwise from the iCloud and my music from iTunes, so everything seems to have gone fine. 
    However, now I have a file that has an image of a Lego-block with musical notes and an iPod on its sides that appeared on the desktop.  The odd file is called "iPhone3,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw".  What on earth is this all about????  When I search the internet, I see people who have jailbroken their iPhones talking about .ipsw files, but to the best of my knowledge, I have not done anything to jailbreak my iPhone, nor would I ever want to do such.  Why did this file appear on my desktop? What is this file for for?  Can I delete this file?
    Thank you.

    I forgot to mention also that when I tried to delete this icon, the trash eternally acted like it was emptyint the trash, but the progress bar was not progressing.  I suppose that is because the file size is too large (812 MB).

  • Re: how can I ger rid of all the photo folders that appear when downloading photos?

    How can I get rid of all the blank, greyed out photo folder names (History???) that appear when I download photos?
    iBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

    Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

  • How to view the settings of the sequence (info that appears when you first open sequence)?

    Hi I would like to ask how to view the current settings of the sequence i am already working in, the same information that appears when you first open a new sequence
    eg.
    General
    Editing mode: QuickTime DV PAL
    Timebase: 25.00fps
    Video Settings
    Frame size: 720h 576v (1.4587)
    Frame rate: 25.00 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.4587)
    Fields: Lower Field First
    Audio Settings
    Sample rate: 48000 samples/second
    Default Sequence
    Total video tracks: 3
    Master track type: Stereo
    Audio Tracks:
    Audio 1: Standard
    Audio 2: Standard
    Audio 3: Standard
    I have forgotten which setting I chose for my current sequence and have tried to look under project settings and also sequence settings
    but the info that you see when you first open a new sequence doesn't show, especially if the editing mode is PAL or NTSC etc.
    How can I find out this information that my current sequence is on?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply
    Is there a way to see what preset I chose when i first chose the sequence? As under 'sequence settings' i don't see this info.
    e.g
    DV PAL "Widescreen 48kHz"
    As i do not remember and fear it may ruin the HD video I am currently editing.
    Thanks

    Hi antdagreat601,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you haven't already, I'd first try restarting or resetting your iPhone:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your device
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the volume icon doesn't go away, see our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for more help:

    Have a great day,

    PROBLEM: RIGHT CLICK CONTEXT MENU DISAPPEARS WHEN TRYING TO LEFT CLICK AN OPTION
    Hi,
    Im using Windows 7, and i could always
    go down to my TaskBar and Right Click
    Icons, and active icons, which would bring up
    the standard Right Click Menu list.
    PROBLEM
    As soon as i moved my Mouse away from
    the bottom Window 7 Task Bar to go a couple
    of millimeters above to left click an option on
    the Context Menu i opened with my right click,
    The whole Menu disappears, and this happens in
    Firefox version 29.01, other programs in Firefox,
    and other such as Skype.
    When i was running Firefox 28
    i didn't have this problem, can you help me out.
    Thank You
