Re: Using toolTip_enable in our applications
In this case, I put the following in Form Element Option Attributes as shown in http://i1.tinypic.com/oa81hz.jpg
Hope this helps.

Duplicate Radio Buttons

Many thanks to both GKaiseril and try67 for their helpful responses to my previous question.
On to the next. Form has a three checkbox radio button on page 1, the same three checkboxes are necessary on another page. i've duplicated the radio buttons to the required page, but when i check the appropriate checkbox on page one then check the same appropriate checkbox on page 'X', but page one checkboxes go back to being unchecked.
How do i make it so that the appropriate checkbox on page 'X' has the same value as the appropriate checkbox on page one?
Thanks,
Dave

Ok. i must've held my tounge right this time.
Lacking any other ideas i got a copy of the RadioCheckBox_AcroForm.pdf from Adobe here and played with it. It all worked just like i wanted so i copied the RadioCheckBoxes to my form, resized them to fit, and duplicated them.
Voila, it worked. When i went to rename the first 3 checkboxes to "xdesignation" i was told that there was already something of another type with that name so i deleted them and everything since then has worked great.
Thanks for all Your prompt, quality responses.
Dave
==============================================================
DING!
After thoughting about this all afternoon i think i know why the Radio Check Box thing wasn't working for me. i was using the Radio Button tool instead of using the Check Button tool. If i copied the Radio Buttons it merely extended the Radio Button group instead of creating a new group. The tip off was when i copied the existing "radio check boxes" from the official Adobe file. The type change was noted by the Adobe 7 software and i couldn't create an instance with the same name of something that already existed under a different type.
Problem solved and i'm at least a little smarter than when i started this whole thing.
Many thanks to all who put their brain power behind my lack of it, especially try67 and http://forums.adobe.com/people/Bernd%20AlheitBernd Alheit; i'd be a lot less knowlledgeable about all this without Your assistance.
Thanks again,
Dave

Tool-tip text for Selection screen buttons.

Hi all,
Got another requirement and need your help.
I have a user-defined selection screen in my program. I would like to know if it is possible to have a tool-tip text ( quick info ) for the Pushbuttons on this selection screen.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Anand Mandalika.

Function Buttons.
For report programs you declare the selection screen appearence with select-options, parameters and selection-screen commands, function key is one of them.
So a quick example
REPORT ZYX.
TYPE-POOLS: ICON.
TABLES: SSCRFIELDS.
DATA: WA_FNTXT TYPE SMP_DYNTXT.
SELECTION-SCREEN FUNCTION KEY 1.
INITIALIZATION.
WA_FNTXT-ICON_ID = ICON_GREEN_LIGHT.
WA_FNTXT-TEXT = 'Go Faster'.
WA_FNTXT-QUICKINFO = 'NO Speed Cameras'.
SSCRFIELDS-FUNCTXT_01 = WA_FNTXT.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
CASE SSCRFIELDS-UCOMM.
WHEN 'FC01'.
etc.

Bridge CS6 tool tips are blocking the buttons!

When I try to change the layout view (grid, list, etc.) with the buttons on the bottom right, the tool tips appear and I'm not able to click through them. So, basically, when I hover over them, the tool tips are blocking me from doing it.
I look in Prefs for a Tool Tips checkbox and it's not checked right now, but they're still appearing, and still protecting the buttons from being clicked.
Anyone know how to turn them off?
And I have to say this is the most ridiculous problem I ever had with a program. Kinda funny.

I still don't think it's the right checkbox to deactivate interface tool tips as it's in the "Thumbnails" sections of prefs. (And when I switch that on I get tool tips for thumbnails, when I switch it off I do not get tool tips for thumbnails. But the interface tool tips are always consistent.)
Well, I'm again afraid. But this time for my big mouth...
You are very right, I did have a long delay on my machine before the tooltips showed and having the checkbox set to on it seemed directly appearing.
As there are many inconsistencies in Bridge (in fact throughout the whole Suite) this one is very big. Don't have a good alternative short name for it but calling 'show metadata when hovering over' 'show tooltips' is really a very bad approach
The version is CS6 and I'm on a 2009 Mac Pro using 10.6.8 if that matters any.
Thanks, it always matters, especially since this has become a general forum with both Windows and Mac. Different OS and different versions (including detail version number) gives more insight in possible solutions or advice (update etc)
Also, I noticed that if I make Bridge CS6 smaller than the monitor window, then the tool tips over the buttons do not appear over the buttons anymore, but under them instead. The tool tips seem to be set to appear below the mouse pointer. When Bridge is maximized and the bottom of the Bridge window touches the bottom of the monitor there is no place else for the tool tips to go, so they get pushed up... and cover the buttons.
I always have the Dock in sight hence pressing the green button to enlarge my Bridge window to full screen leaves a small free space and as you well discovered has not your problematic behavior with tooltips over buttons.
I would think Bridge should be able to detect the end of the screen, obviously it does because it knows to move the tool tips up so they don't appear "off screen".
They should use this detection to determine if the tool tips should appear above or below (or away from the screen edge) the mouse pointer.
Agreed
I'll stop calling it a bug and switch it to "oversight". Bottom line though is the tool tips still block the buttons and shield them from being clicked.
Oversight is the correct word, but besides the above described improvement they really should get rid of the name tooltips in thumbnails and add an option to really hide or show all tooltips as you would expect in a proper application
Thanks for staying tuned and clarify!
While the Bridge team tries to read most of this forum it might be wise to make a feature request for this, are you willing to do so since this is your discovery?

Tool tip makes buttons unclickable

Is this normal or have I set a weird preference or something? I've created a simple example here:
http://www.goby.com.au/test.html
You should notice if you roll over the blue tab there is a tool tip. But if links or buttons are below the section where the pop up is, you can't click on them. (I left half of the second link hanging out to show it's a real link.) Any thoughts?

m facing the same problem..tooltip and button can't b used at same divison...

Tool-Tip Text for button

Hello,
I have a button which I have statically associated with a tool-tip text.
I did this by setting the TooltipText to a text element.
However, when I run my program, the tool-tip does not appear
for the button. This button does not have any text it it, only an ICON.
Therefore, I need a tool-tip to inform the user about the functionality
of the button.
Can anyone please tell me how the display the tool-tip?
Best regards,
Divyaman Singh Rawat

HI,
Go to screen layout and double click on the button for which you are setting the toop tip text. Then Attributes window will open. In that window, Just below the 'Icon name' field, there is 'Tooltip' field. You give the tool tip text there.
Also Dont forget to save the layout. After saving come to flow logic and activate the program and run. Then it definetely shows the tool tip when you place the mouse pointer on the button.
Cheers

Dynamic Tool TIP in Table Control

Dear Friends,
Thanks in Advance.
How to implement Dynamic Tool TIP in the Table Control for Particularly One Columnn.
i.e rows in that Column.
Note : Column contains Currency Type Data
For that column, i am calculating the Quantity Multiplied with the Exchange Rate.

Hi
Take Text Element Radio button there and give any number and activate.
If the Visible lenght of the Table Control Field is less than actual length of the Content, it automatically displays the Tool Tip.
I just did it.
Hope this serves your purpose.
Get it fram Sam

How do I set a Unicode tool tip on an AVToolButton?

We're finally porting our Acrobat (8/9/X/XI) plug-in to be fully Unicode-compliant, so that we can show our UI in Japanese and other languages which require double-byte characters.
I've figured out how to rework most of our 8-bit calls, such as replacing AVMenuItemNew() with AVMenuItemNewWithASText(), AVAlert() with AVAlertWithParams(), etc.
But I'm stuck on the tooltips for our toolbar buttons. We had been calling AVToolButtonSetHelpText(), which takes an 8-bit char string. But there's no ASText version of this function, as far as I can tell.
I've tried calling both AVToolButtonSetComputeTooltipProc() and AVToolButtonSetNotifyTooltipProc(), but my callback functions never get called. Similar callbacks registered with AVToolButtonSetComputeMarkedProc(), AVToolButtonSetComputeEnabledProc(), and AVToolButtonSetExecuteProc() work just fine, and I'm calling the AVToolButtonSet***TooltipProc functions the same way, but the tooltip callbacks never fire (at least not under Acrobat XI on Windows, which is my development environment).
I'm not actually sure whether AVToolButtonSetComputeTooltipProc() or AVToolButtonSetNotifyTooltipProc() is what I need to do, or exactly what the difference between the two callbacks is. Also, the documentation for AVNotifyTooltipProc says, "It returns text that is displayed in the tooltip," but AVNotifyTooltipProc is a declaration for a function returning void, so I'm not sure what the doc means by "It returns text." The AVComputeTooltipProc callback seems more sensible, as it returns ASText, but like I said, I can't get either one to fire. Although the doc for AVComputeTooltipProc is a bit confusing as well, as it says it's "used to get the mega-tooltip help text for a toolbar button." What exactly does it mean by, "mega-tooltip?" Is that a clue that a "mega" tooltip is somehow fundamentally different than a regular (non-"mega") tooltip?
So, what exactly do I need to to in order to set Unicode tool tips on my toolbar buttons?

Agreed, Unicode is the way to go.
I would still appreciate it if someone could answer these specific questions:
Is there any supported way to set Unicode tool tips in Acrobat 9?
Why are my callbacks registered with AVToolButtonSetComputeTooltipProc() and AVToolButtonSetNotifyTooltipProc() never being called? Do these functions simply not work? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Form Radio Buttons or Checkboxes not created in Acrobat 9 Pro

If this needs to be placed in another forum, please just let me know.
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro - current version - 9.4.3.
I am using Word 2010
I am running Windows 7
I have created a simple form in Word. Using the guidelines from the white paper - Acro9_designforms.pdf provided by Adobe, those fields where I want a radio button insert a checkbox instead when running the Form Wizard in Acrobat.
My sample is exactly the same as in the sample used in the white paper.
I used a circle symbol from the Wingdings font, as recommended by Adobe.
Salutation
O Mr.
O Ms.
O Dr.
The end result is still a checkbox, even though it is a circle in the display.
What am I doing wrong?
I do not want to use LiveCycle Designer, as once the form is created in LiveCycle, the form fields can no longer be edited in Acrobat and I must maintain the ability to edit in Acrobat.
Thank you for your assistance.

Oh, the Wizard is a fabulous tool for basic forms. And, since Adobe has given an extensive list of 'guidelines', which is what I am testing, I thought I would ask for feedback from those who do use it and from those who have had success in using it.
The Wizard is mostly terrific, if you use the guidelines when setting up the source document. It saves a lot of manual field creation and fixing later. This one, though, is not working as expected. So, I might be doing something wrong and the responses I seek are from those who have had success with the feature - not with manual workarounds, which of course we know can be achieved. :)
Nothing is "magic". I don't think either I or Adobe are implying that it should be. However, when they state a feature works in a certain way and I am not getting those results, I like to explore why. Silly me. hahaha
The example I gave in my initial post is the only thing in the form, as I am testing the features for when I present this topic.
I am merely trying to determine if others are having success (or not) when creating their document initially in Word (for example), using the guidelines that Adobe states for Radio Buttons being created. If there is a certain font that someone is having success with other than those stated by Adobe, I would love to know. For me, so far, it is not. If it's user error, then I would love to know from someone who has had success.
Here is what Adobe states as part of their Radio Button form field guidelines when setting up a document in Word, for example:
§ Use circular objects or numbered buttons to in a single row or column to indicate radio buttons.
§ Use group labels to the left of or above each radio button group – otherwise they will default to check boxes. Field names are determined from the group labels and individual button labels from the text to the right of each location.
§ Use the following text labels to have radio buttons created automatically: Yes/No, M/F, Male/Female, Mr/Mrs/Miss/Dr.
§ Use one of the following group labels to have radio buttons created automatically: Salutation, Sex, Occupation.
thanks

Fn+F5 wifi switch not working. X301: win 7 pro 64: Radio button highlit no action when pressed.

Can't turn wifi radio on. Hardware slider switch OK, Fn+F5 shows radio button, illuminates when focus on button, does not operate when button pressed. So no wifi available. X301 Intel 5300 AGN: driver version 13.1.1.1. /1-13-10 Device working properly : do not allow PC to turn off device: media state enabled. Windows network diagnostics - 'There might be a problem with the wifi driver' Lenovo toolbox - diagnostics :- available and capable to send and receive data. (obviously not true!) PCI express status test passed, no other tests can run because no network can be seen. Other laptops adjacent to X301 can see the wifi network signal. Tried, disable and uninstall drivers and device. Latest updates from Microsoft, Lenovo and Intel. Rolling back and restore have become corrupted and trying these fails. Has anyone any other ides to try please? Thanks

damn ! that was it ... you wouldn't believe how long i was struggling with that strange error
chrome-remote-desktop is actually a pretty cool tool to remotely control your pc from your mobile.
well, but it had to go now ... thanks for your help !

Win 7 Pro updates to Internet Explorer 11 every web page has blank frames and radio buttons. Updates show only IE11.

This entry frame on your page has radio buttons, giving me some editing functions - Bold, Italic, Underline, Insert unordered List, Insert Ordered List, Insert Hyperlink, Remove Hyperlink, Insert HTML, etc... but
I cannot see them. Ever since updating Internet Explorer to ver 11, there is no going back to IE8. Your Tech forum monitors keep rehashing the same links that do not answer this snafu. Your Monitors suggest that the web sites are not running
because they are not compatible with the newer versions of Internet Explorer - well, even Microsoft's websites? When you create a new web interface, why would your coding team make it incompatible with your own company's sites?
The Monitors suggest our cards can't handle GPU and we should turn to software rendering. My card is a GeForce GTX 50 TI and has, according to the manufacturer web site: "Microsoft® DirectX® 11 Support
DirectX 11 GPU with Shader Model 5.0 support designed for ultra high performance in the new API’s key graphics feature, GPU-accelerated tessellation."
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE and Microsoft must realize no customer wants to have the technical side string them along with pointless and futile misdirection to a garble of automatic chat responses that offer incomplete and unrelated fixes
and then expect to gain points in the voting buttons that "this fixed my problem".
Microsoft: you are ignoring compatibility problems with your coding and pretending it is arises from hardware incompatibility or user stupidity. Your code should be running seamlessly, should accommodate existing technologies, and be flexible enough
to accept limitations of older hardware, older websites, and your monitors should march into Microsoft's development offices and demand answers ---- and fixes. Has Microsoft gone into hiding when the latest technology show-piece isn't working for the
rest of the world? We do not exist in a research bubble. We are here in the real world, with aging equipment and tight budgets, and we expect better from Microsoft.

Hi ohernova,
Sorry for the annoying issue you encountered and our develop team are trying our best to improve the performance of MS products, As I know, IE 11 was published after many technical tests, thus I suspect that it might be an individual case. I used to run
IE 11 in my win7, and it works perfectly,
Here’re some test you may take into consideration:
Make sure that you’ve installed all latest updates.
Since your Monitors keeps suggesting that the web sites are not running because it’s a compatibility issue, I suggest you add one site to the compatibility view list for a test, (if you can find the settings in Tools>Compatibility view settings)
Or click Win+F12, launch the F12 developer tool, click the last option, change the user agent string and document string to “10”, check whether the page can revert to normal.
Regards
Yolanda

Acrobat 9.1 Mac How do you change from Radio buttons to Check boxes?

I have a DMV Form I Downloaded and had to convert to PS then back to PDF (written originally on PC Acrobat was in XML format).
So on new form, I am able to add fields. I used the the Forms manager to automatically create the fields. Fields that were made Radio Buttons should have been Check boxes. How do change the Radio buttons to check boxes. There are a lot of them and I don't wish to have to re-key them in.
Suggestions?

Well when I click on the box it shows a Check mark in the box. That exactly what I need because in the instructions it requires a Check mark in each of the check boxes. Normally the Med form is sent as a paper copy from DMV every two years.
Also another Tip. A PDF that has XML Content. (PC Acrobat Version).
If you want a usable PDF on Mac and get rid of the XML do the following:
Open the XML Based PDF on Mac Acrobat 9.X .
Now choose export and save as Postscript File (.ps).
Now locate and drop on Distiller 9.X.
When PDF created will be a Pristine exact replica of the XML file except Mac Acrobat can edit and create forms with it.

Why do some radio buttons show in IE but not in Firefox?

On some web sites a radio button or checkbox is available but Firefox does not show any outline or content for it. It can only be found by mousing over the screen and hoping that a text message such as "Click here to submit" shows up. In IE these buttons do show up in the normal way so it seems this is s problem with Firefox and not the particular web site.

Firefox will not load radio buttons on certain sites and I can't show my choice of items without the ability.

I have gone to bill pay and ordering sites and have found, what we used to call, radio buttons to mark a choice are not loading. For those that have no idea what I am talking about, Survey sites, bill pay sites and shopping sites use a round button that when clicked on, it shows your choice. These are not loading in the new Firefox and I have had to revert much of my work to Internet Explorer now. Up to this point, I have been impressed with Firefox. Can you restore the confidence and smile on my face?

Can you post a link to sites where the radio buttons aren't working?
