MenuItem tool tips

[fablefox]

I've checked GadgetToolTip(#Gadget, Text$) and I noticed that Menu is not part of the gadget supported.

Is there a simple way to add tool tips to a menu item?

Thanks.

Much simple and should be cross platform

Code: Select all

    y = DesktopMouseY()
    x0 = WindowX(0,#PB_Window_FrameCoordinate)+4 
    y0 = WindowY(0,#PB_Window_InnerCoordinate) - MenuHeight()
    y1 = y0 + MenuHeight()
       If x >= x0 And x <= (x0+x1) And y >= y0 And y <= y1
         ResizeGadget(1,0,5,#PB_Ignore,#PB_Ignore)
         SetGadgetText(1,Text1$)
         Delay(100)
       ElseIf x >= (x0+x1) And x <= (x0+x1+x2) And y >= y0 And y <= y1
         ResizeGadget(1,x11,5,#PB_Ignore,#PB_Ignore)
         SetGadgetText(1,Text2$)
         Delay(100)
       ElseIf x >= (x0+x1+x2) And x <= (x0+x1+x2+x3) And y >= y0 And y <= y1

Hi Rashad
It doesn't work on OS X because on OS X menus are -always- on the top of the screen, they are not attached to a window...

Thanks.

Too complicated for what I planned currently. I was thinking just a few lines, the way GadgetTooltip works.

Anyway, thanks again. I'll keep this in mind when my app is ready to use it.
