TOOLTIP attribute

(Windows only; Graphical interfaces only)
A help text message for a text field or text variable. The AVM automatically displays this text when the user pauses the mouse pointer over a widget for which a tooltip is defined.
Data type: CHARACTER
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies to: BROWSE widget, BUTTON widget, COMBO-BOX widget, EDITOR widget, FILL-IN widget, IMAGE widget, RADIO-SET widget, RECTANGLE widget, SELECTION-LIST widget, SLIDER widget, TEXT widget, and TOGGLE-BOX widget
You can add or change the TOOLTIP attribute at any time. If TOOLTIP is set to "" or the Unknown value (?), then the ToolTip is removed. No ToolTip is the default.
