tooltip problem

Postby John Robin Dove » Fri Nov 05, 2021 12:27 pm

Hi Clifton,
I have a slight problem. I want to show a tooltip in different languages so I put the text in a Toolbook global variable and execute pgToolTip(). This is what happens:

If I put the text in directly instead of using the variable, there is no problem:

This is an early part of my project which I have left in its original TB actions format. Maybe I should use an XML instead?

Can you post the actual actions or xml code so I can take a look?

The error message indicates that the variable i is not a string or is null.

Hi Clifton,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Sorry, it was a false alarm. The variable was indeed null because of a confusion in the actions editor. I had not used the actions editor for a long time. years is fact but that's not much of an excuse. :oops:
I am a little closer to my goal of making a 'lighweight version' of my program. Weeks, I think, rather than months.
