The webix system has built int hints system that one can use to provide hints on the usage of the app as demonstrated. To be able to use this widget, one needs to create the hints, link the to element ids and add these in sequence of appearance and then execute the hints.
The example in this demo is based on the form designer and the hints are activated from a button click event.
In Process_Globals we defined a hint object..
We then continued to add hints as and when we created the elements on our page.
One can move from one hint to another via a click / an enter event. Thus at the end of each call above, we used mostly the click event, i.e. on click we move to the next hint.
Starting the hints system.
One start the hints from a button click event of anywhere in the app, we decided to start ours when the app is started.
