Hi,
I do not agree.
If the HelpTag annoy you, putting them in the MouveOver event or set them at
design time gives an equal result.
The initial idea (à la Balloon Help) was the good way, but HelpTag is not
implemented that way.
"Unfortunately", every time - for my own use - that I set strings in HelpTag,
the text annoy me and I send the Mouse out of the window area.
The other expressed idea is nice, but can take some times to move the strings
from the objects to their MouseOver event with a global Boolean test - isHelpTag
As Boolean (set by a MenuItem to show or hide the HelpTag) - and assign the
string to display (isHelpTag True) or an empty string (isHelpTag = False)
Cheers,
Emile

No they don't change but it would be nice to let the user turn them off
when they are no longer needed. This can be done by putting the helptag
code in the mouseOver event and controlling them from a menu or prefs
file. As Joe said, the properties window is a good place to start, but
for ultimate control, I think it best to only put the help tag in the
mouseOver event.
