Tool Tip / GUI-script battle

I've got a slider that invokes a handler that performs some AppleScript GUI scripting ( ... unfortunate, yes, but there's no other way.)
The slider has a Tool Tip.
If I click and drag outside of the slider's mouseDown region, no problem. The GUI stuff works as expected.
If I drag inside the slider's mouseDown region, the ToolTip appears at it designated time, as if I were hovering. This causes a NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1) error. Certainly makes sense that I'd get an error when the Tool Tip comes to the front. But I'm confused as to why it appears. None of my non-GUI related sliders have this problem.
Suggestions?
Here are a few other Tool Tip questions:
1) Can I increase or decrease the display length for all tool tips?
2) Is it possible to keep tool tips visible indefinitely while the user hovers the mouse over the object, closing on mouseLeave?
3) Can I toggle all Tool Tips to enabled or disabled?
Thanks, John

Just noticed: on another computer (a powerBook) I get the NSReceiver error at any click or drag. Cleaned all targets and got the same result.
I set a one second delay to make sure the GUI window gets time to come to the front but to no avail. There's a error at every click or drag.

Tool tip - another question

I am trying to add tool tips to 'Rollover Image' in DV CS3. I
found some nifty tool tip script at '
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/'
under
'Cool DHTML Tooltip II'.
Normally when the mouse moves over a 'Rollover Image' the
image changes image (image_over feature). I my case it is the same.
Now after I install the script for the above tooltip, and when the
mouse is over the image, the tooptip message displays but the image
does not change to the image_over image. I looked into the
documentation and found that the 'onMouseOver' command needs some
tweeking.
So my question is; what do I need to change in the link for
'onMoveOver' so that when the mouse is moved over it, it allows two
actions: (1) display the tooltip and (2) change to 'OVER' image.
FYI, I am pretty new to DV so give a detailed answer.

Let's see your page.

My custom Tool tip on spark data Grid don't work ?

I want to add panel component as my tooltip for each row in my Spark DataGrid. So when mouse rollover the user can see the information for each the ship. I want a panel as my tooltip for dataGrid cause I want to organize my data neatly and also place a image in the panel.
I came across :http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf60d65-7ff6.html where they show an example of "Implementing the IToolTip interface" using the panel.I tried manipulating the codes but it didt work for my spark dataGrid.
So my question :
Can some one pls show me how I can use the Panel as my tool tip for each row in spark data grid.
I have been struggling for quite some time.If possible pls Give me an example.
This is my codes below (I tried to follow the example from :http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf60d65-7ff6.html#WS2d b454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf60d65-7ff4 -"Implementing the IToolTip interface")

Ok I was getting ready to post the renderer code and then found the problem. I had copied this code from another renderer which had contentBackgroundAlpha=0 in the MXAdvancedDataGridItemRenderer tag. When I removed it, the style of the TextArea worked as intended. Your comment helped me to take a closer look at the renderer code, so thank you.

How to set Tool Tip Text to Tree Node?

Hi,
How to set Tool Tip Text to Tree Node in JTree?
Pls somebody help me to solve it.

bsampeieri,
Been here a long time myself. I don't agree with the one post is enough per se. That is to say, sometimes, it helps to post in several groups so that more eyes may see it. A number of forum posters linger in specific forum topics and may not see the post in another forum.
Now, if in the previous post you/others answered the question and then the OP posted here later, I could see the complaint.
For the OP, the better way to cross-post is to have one "main" post, then have all the other posts refer back to that one (link to it) so that people aren't duplicating the effort to answer your question(s). A simple "I have cross-posted this to get more eyes on it. Please reply to this question at this post <link here>"

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!

Spry tool tip does not work in template or child pages within an editable region. Why not?

Ok. so I am getting pretty frustrated. I take the time to learn how to use CSS and to create a template page for a Contractor Site (www.ContractorInsurance.net). The idea is to create a page that I can use for different classes of Contractors...right?
Then I get all happy about being able to insert ToolTip onto pages to help the user. Great!
LIfe to turn to Sorrow after nearly five hours of searching for a "eeking" answer.
So what good does it do to have an Editable region to update if we cannot have the flexibility to insert a tool tip on child pages? Ok so the fast solution is to what... Have a question mark image, insert another apDiv, name it toolTip_Not and provide it with a show=hide behavior?
RRRRRrrr...
This really sucks not being able to find a solution within a reasonable amount of time.

I have tried thank you. However...it is still not working.

If you have a look at the following simple document with a tooltipTooltip trigger goes here.
Tooltip content goes here.
you will notice that a couple of lines have been placed in the HEAD section of the document. When using DW templates, the HEAD section is usually not editable, hence the error mesaage. By default, your template should have an editable region in it just before the closing tag. It looks like this:  Dreamweaver should be able to find that editable region and insert the
<script> tag there automatically. Because you don't have an editable region like that in the <head>, open the master template, and paste the code above just before the closing </head>

Spry Tool Tip Error

Hi there, I'm really interested in getting the SPRY tool tips
working. I have a page that uses them on all my images. The first
line of tool tips work. The second doesn't follow the mouse
completely and on the last line of images the tool tip appears half
way up the page. Anyone work out why?
The page is:

The
page in question

I've just noticed that the tool tip doesn't go lower than
lowest part of the initial browser height. Weird. This seems to be
a Firefox problem. I'm only able to test on Firefox3 and Safari.
Can anyone let me know it works in IE?
Thanks

Howto set tool tip for a row in JTable

I want to set a seperate tool tip for each of the rows in JTable. I tried getting cell renderer of all columns in a row and then setting tool tip for them. I expected that setting tool tip for a cell renderer will set tool tip for that cell. Thus setting tool tip for all the cells in a row will indirectly set tool tip for that row. But it does not happen that way. By setting a tool tip for a renderer it will use that tool tip for all those cells which use that renderer.
Is there any problem in my approach or we cannot do this in Java.
regards.

Thanks.You're wellcome.
>
I just saw this method in JComponent and realized this
solution.
But then thought that for doing this i'll have to
create my JTable class for just overiding one method
thereby increasing one more level of abstraction.Well, you could override the method in an inner class if I understand you correctly in assuming that you don't want to create a JTable as new separate class. You could do this:
JTable yourtable = new JTable() {
public String getToolTipText( MouseEvent e ) {
return getToolTipForRow( rowAtPoint( e.getPoint() ));
// some where else in your class
getToolTipForRow( int row ) {
// determine your tooltip here
}I think this would be a bit nicer and slightly faster approach because as far as I understand the getToolTipText() method is called after a similar MouseEvent for every JComponent i.e. a small pause of cursor movement over the component in question. I admit that I haven't tested either approach myself but noticed that JTable actually overrides the getToolTipText( MouseEvent e) method already. In your code you determine and set the tooltip every time the mouse moves. If you override getToolTipText( MouseEvent e) you have to determine the tooltip text only when the tooltip is actually about to be shown.

Type Tool tips-Navigating through & editing text

Type Tool Tips for Photoshop
Most folks understand how to create text in Photoshop. You select the Type Tool from the Toolbox, or you tap the "T" key on your keyboard. Then, in the Character Palette you set the attributes for font, color, size, etc. A simple click in your document window will mark the spot where you may begin typing unbounded "point" text. Or, you click and drag in your document window to create a paragraph text box. Type out your text, then tap your "Enter" key to commit the text to its new layer.
It's pretty straightforward, and Photoshop offers a decent set of tools to adjust how your text looks. One hitch that long-timers will tell you about, though: It's generally accepted that Photoshop isn't the best application to be using if you have to have to create a lot of text because it doesn't have all of the adjustment functions necessary to produce large amounts of professional-quality text. Well, the real world being what it is, sometimes, and for some users, Photoshop is the only application they have to work with; might as well make the best of it, right?
So, once you have text entered onto a layer in your document, how do you then reselect it either all of it or just a portion and navigate through it easily? What follows will answer some of those questions.
Note: The keyboard shortcuts that follow assume you are using a Mac. If you're using Windows, substitute the CTRL key for "Command."
Double-Click on the boxed 'T' thumbnail on the desired Text Layer in the Layers Palette. This will select and highlight all of the text on that layer.
Then, if you want, you can use some keyboard shortcuts to move the "Blinking Bar" Type Tool cursor through the text.
Assuming that your text is enclosed in a click-and-dragged out paragraph text box...
When all text is highlighted:
"Home" key will move cursor to the beginning of first line of text.
"End" key will move cursor to the end of last line of text.
When text is NOT highlighted, but cursor is flashing within the text:
"Home" key moves cursor to the beginning of the line it's in.
"End" key moves cursor to the end of the line it's in.
Command + "Home" moves cursor to beginning of first line of text.
Command + "End" moves cursor to end of the last line of text.
Shift + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the line it's in.
Shift + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the line it's in.
Shift + Command + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the first line of text.
Shift + Command + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the last line of text.
Arrow keys can also be used to select text in various ways.
When your cursor is flashing within the text:
Shift + Right Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the end of the text.
Shift + Left Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the beginning of the text.
⇒ Add the Command key to select whole words at a time, in either direction.
Shift + Up Arrow selects text from cursor position back to the next line above the cursor.
Shift + Down arrow selects text from cursor position forward to the next line below the cursor position.⇒ Add the Command key to select text starting from the cursor position, and accumulating either back to the beginning of the first line, or forward to the end of the last line.
That covers most of what (or more than) you need to know to navigate through and highlight text. There are some other key combos, and now that you have an idea of what to do, I'll let you experiment and discover them on your own
Type Tool Visual Indicators
Keep a close eye on your Type Tool cursor as you move it near to and away from a hunk of text in your document window; it will change form to indicate different functions.
When you see it as a plain old "I-Bar" cursor, like so: ...that means that it's ready to select a position within that text, or to select a hunk of that text.
When you see a "boxed I-Bar" cursor, like so: ...that means your cursor is outside of the selectable area for the current text, and is ready for you to click (to start right in typing some unbounded point text) or click-n-drag (to create a paragraph text box). This will, of course, create a new text layer.
How can you get a visual indicator of where that selectable area for current text begins and ends without blindly moving your Type Tool cursor around the text? Double-Click on the "Boxed-T" thumbnail in the Layers Palette. The text for that layer will become highlighted in your document window. See the black area that surrounds the text? That shows you the actual space occupied by the characters. If your Type Tool cursor is inside this highlighted area, it will display the plain "I-Bar" cursor. If it's outside of that area, it will display the "Boxed I-Bar" cursor.
Want to FORCE Photoshop to create a new Type Layer, even though you're seeing the plain I-Bar cursor? Hold the SHIFT key, then either click, or click-n-drag out a paragraph text box.

Mac OS X 10.8.2
8 GB RAM - 2.8 GHz
Illustrator CS6 16.0.3
No extra plug-ins beyond the initial install
Double-clicking with the Arrow cursor will select existing type.
The Type Tool jumps to a different location when creating a new block, like I have snap-to-grid turned on.
Cursor is different than previous versions. After setting preferences to "Type Object Selection by Path Only" the cursor is behaving more like I expect it to. But… it still is working oddly. New doc, created a new type object, clicked arrow cursor to deselect it, then tried selecting it with the Type Tool. Creates a NEW path.
Cursor looked like "Area Type Tool" in doc 1, but does not behave that way.
Until I straighten this out, I'll stand by my original statement. It's unuseable.

Interactive Report Filter Operator Tool Tip

version 4.0.2.00.07
Hello,
I had question raised to add a Tool Tip to the Operators in the Filter on the Interactive Reports.
When the Operator select list is displayed the Managers don't know what all the operators mean. I noticed that if the mouse is hovered over an operator there is a Tool Tip displayed that says "Operator".
Where and how could that Tool Tip be modified to display a defination of what that operator is for, if it can be done at all?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Joe

Erik-jan,
I was hoping I could ask for you assistance again, if possible.
I've made progress on this task, but I'm also having some issues.
I've obtained the code as you've suggested and found that there are a few Operator lists.
There are:
apexir_STRING_OPT
apexir_CLOB_OPT
apexir_NUMBER_OPT
apexir_DATE_OPT
apexir_PSEUDO_OPT
What I've done:
Created Dynamic Actions for:
apexir_STRING_OPT
apexir_CLOB_OPT
apexir_NUMBER_OPT
apexir_DATE_OPT
For each Operator list the Dynamic Actions are created like (changing the names and Operator selections as needed):
name: Add tooltip to Date filter operators
- event: Get Focus
- selection type: jQuery Selector
- jQuery Selector: select#apexir_DATE_OPT
Create a true action with the following settings:
- action: Execute Javascript Code
- code:
$(this.triggeringElement).find('option').each(function()
   if(this.value == ">")
      $(this).attr("title", "greater than - Value in Column is greater than the value in Expression");
   else if(this.value == ">=")
      $(this).attr("title", "greater than or equal to - Value in Column is greater than or equal to the value in Expression");
   else if(this.value == "<")
      $(this).attr("title", "less than - Value in Column is less than the value in Expression");
   else if(this.value == "<=")
      $(this).attr("title", "less than or equal to - Value in Column is less than or equal to the value in Expression");
   else if(this.value == "is null")
      $(this).attr("title", "is null - Value in Column is empty");
   else if(this.value == "is not null")
      $(this).attr("title", "is not null - Value in Column is not empty");
   else if(this.value == "is in the last")
      $(this).attr("title", "is in the last - Value in Column is in the last x timeframe");
   else if(this.value == "is not in the last")
      $(this).attr("title", "is not in the last - Value in Column is not in the last x timeframe");
   else if(this.value == "is in the next")
      $(this).attr("title", "is in the next - Value in Column is in the last x timeframe");
   else if(this.value == "is not in the next")
      $(this).attr("title", "is not in the next - Value in Column is not in the last x timeframe");
   else if(this.value == "between")
      $(this).attr("title", "between - Provides a means to test whether an Expression falls within a range of Values");
})The problem is that the Tool Tips are only showing for the STRING Operator list. If a numeric column or a date column are selected the Tool Tip shows as 'Operator'. I thought that maybe it was a conflict with all these Dynamic Actions so I moved the STRING Dynamic Action to the last one in the sequence and put the DATE Dynamic Action as the first in the sequence. Still only the Tool Tips for the STRING columns are displayed and not the NUMERIC or DATE.
I've tried to see if there was possibly a different name being used for the two lists that don't display, but I haven't found any other place where these lists are being created. I haven't found a way to set a breakpoint to confirm that's indeed the list being created with those names.
Would you have any ideas here?
Thanks,
Joe

Multi line ballon tool tip

I have used ballon toolip, it have multiple lines to show the tool tip, but it is not working.
I have added Component in bolloon tool tip to show multi line text , but still not showing correctly.

Please suggest me the way .
THE WAY
1) Tell us what "not works fine" is supposed to mean.
2) Tell use what the hell balloon tip means. Where did you get this? How do you call it?
3) Post your code. USE FORMATTING TAGS. At least some code to give anyone a clue of what you are doing.
4) Next time post into the correct forum.
It never fails to amaze me when asked for more useful details people respond as you did here. By repeating, ad nauseum, information that was already clear but doesn't actually tell anything. Yes. We got that "it" only displays one line. But you didn't answer any of the questions asked which relate to what the hell is "it" and how the hell are you calling "it". etc.

Tool Tip for VO attribute using Groovy

Hi All,
I was wondering how to use groovy for Tool Tip of a view object attribute.
What I am basically looking for is return the String from a RowImpl class method and set it as a Tool Tip text.
my method:
public String applyToolTip(){
return "This is my Tool Tip";
Groovy used for Tool Tip Attribute
adf.object.applyToolTip()
also tried with,
adf.object.viewObject.applyToolTip()
None of them work. Also I tried writing the same method in VOImpl class. No luck.. Please help with explanation.
Thanks.

Hi,
Groovy is not used throughout ADF BC. It can be used in validation and to define default values to an attribute but not for UI hints. For tool tips you would use message bundles (assuming your question is towards internationalization). Tool tips are defined on the AttributeDef of a View Object attribute and thus not defined per VO instance.
