B4J Question what about B4XView Tooltip?

[rbirago]

In these last months I'm starting to use B4XViews instead of specific platform views. Why in B4XView there is not a ToolTip property? Is it for a particular reason?
Thank you

It is a B4J feature only. However the nice thing about B4XView is that it is very simple to access the native APIs:

Sub SetToolTip (x As B4XView, Text As String)
 If x Is Control Then
  Dim c As Control = x
  c.TooltipText = Text
End If
End Sub

oooh, thank you, I didn't know anything about this Control. It is perfect! I suppose that there are lots of useful tools that the most part of us don't know anything about. Should be cool to find the way to implement the info system of B4X!
Where can I find for example some infos about Control? (using the OnlineHelp of the IDE tooltip it reminds to a generic list of argumentas for word "CONTROL")

Most types of nodes can be treated as Control.

The exceptions are: Pane, ImageView, WebView and Canvas.
