Are you saying that you don't agree with putting the helpTags in the
mouseOver event? They work very well in my app, no slower than using
the properties panel and I have a menu option that turns them on or
off. If you see a problem with this I will be interested to hear about
it.

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.
