B4J Question [ABMaterial]: SetTooltip?

alwaysbusy said:

Checked it and this has been build in the very beginning I was writing ABMaterial and does not work everywhere. Would need a complete rewrite and as touch devices do not have this, I'm not sure if I will. To much other stuff to handle now, like the ABMaterial Abstract Designer. Maybe, when things settle and I have the time I rewrite this.

Hi there

I have noted that some components have this method in them, however its not used in the demo, perhaps could be used to set tooltips for buttons and other things. I'd like to use it.

Can someone please explain to me how it works, there is a position variable being passed to it.

B4X:

component.SetToolTip("MyToolTip",y,500)

I can identify with the other variables, the y is supposed to be the position, I'm not clear which constants should I use perhaps..

Thanks in advance for your co-operation.
