Tool Tips on selected text

Hello,
Is it possible to have a tool tip for the selected text in a text frame.
Thanks.

I'm not sure if you're refering to components you can place in containers, but if you are, there's a ToolTipText option in the component inspector for every component you can select. If you want to change the tooltips manually for specific components, you can use the method (Component).setToolTipText(String text). Hope that helps...
hello again,
just one more question :) i was wondering if anyone
knows how to implement tool tips with controls in
JavaForte. i looked through the properties window,
but didnt see any .ToolTipText property.... i know
its possible, and probably just one line of code,
anyone know it? thanks a lot in advance for any help!
talk to ya later,

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.

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.

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.

Can thumbnails show tool tip/alt text in slideshow?

I would like the thumbnails in the slideshow to show the tool tip text or alt text on hover/rollver. Possible?
I have populated the image properties (tooltip and alt text) but they do not appear. It does work if you populate hero images but would be more useful in thumbnails as a selection method if you could see what you were selecting.

JSlider + Display value in a text tool tip box

Hello,
I am new to Java. I want to display the value in a text tool tip box of the JSlider as the user moves the knob . Is there any way to achieve this.
I tried setting up the value of text tool tip in the stateChanged method. But that didn't helped

Finally Got it working. Below I am attaching the code for reference

The only problem is that toolTextTip is appearing on one side rather than below the cursor.

Trouble selecting text with touch up tool

I have carefully followed the instructions step by step but I cannot get the touch up text tool to turn into an I-beam in order to select text for touching up the color. I have tried with several documents with no luck, trashed the preferences to revert to the default status, closed and reopened acrobat. I've used this facility several times in the past to access the properties of the text in order to change its color, but I can't seem to do it now.
I am using Acrobat 9 for mac on an imac (Intel core i3), currently Under OS10.7.3, but I had the same problem under OS 10.6.8.

Are you looking at scanned text or real text. The inability to get an ibeam (it only comes on when you are over text) is an indication you are likely looking at a graphic. Try it on a file you know for sure is text and see if it works there.

Dynamic Tool tip text/Quick Info

Is it possible to have dynamic tool tip text when you hover over an icon on a report? I know you can change the function key text but these icons are present on the report itself.
Any ideas?!

Check if you have the QUICKINFO option for the WRITE statement for your release.

Selection tool won't select swatches or link text frames?

How to use long texts in explanation tool tip?

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me how to add long text in Explanation tool tip?
I am able to use short OTR texts in explanation tool tip but not able to use long OTR texts.
Thanks and regards,
Vivek Shetty.

For long text
method1
Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to include text
then you can input text name/text object/text id/language
method2
create PROGRAM LINE node - use FM READ_TEXT to read it to a internal table
then use LOOP or TABLE node to display it
For TEXT module(For foreign language)
Tr-code:smartforms -- choose Text module(not choose form)--create a text module object
then enter smartform Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to text module
input the text module name which created by above
btw SO10 is just for Scriptform, in smartforms we use text module to replace SO10

HTML tool tip on text fragment....how?

I need a tool tip on a piece of text using HTML. I thought below would work when pasted in the HTML snipped widget, but it does not work (everything is fine, just no tool time).
text fragment
What would work?
Thanks
bob

Bob ~ If your post doesn't look correct in Preview mode, it probably won't look correct when posted. For most HTML to display properly in these forums it has to be "escaped", using this free tool for example:
http://www.htmlescape.net/htmlescape_tool.html
...then your code fragment will look like this:
 element that encloses the words "text fragment""> text fragment 
As far as solving the problem, I'm not sure, as this solution with URLs:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Tooltips.html
...may not be what you're looking for.
