I think tooltips are cool, but I have noticed an absence in FW - am I looking in the wrong place?

(I know about MESSAGE - buts its just not as 'cool')

But I get a Syntax error:

REDEFINE GET oDBF:TITLE ID 10 OF Dlg_CURR UPDATE ;
TOOLTIP "Enter the Salutation here"

Thanks for the reply Fernando - But that didn't work either.

I'm not sure what I should be looking for in the FIVEWIN.CH

I assume I'm looking to see if a oGET object has a tooltip property? What am I looking for exactly?

Ollie wrote:Thanks EMG. That works, a bit of a schlep though, because now one needs to define oGets, where oDBF was nice as it doesn't need the gets.

oDlg:aControls

I don't think its the TFOLDER class I'm after.

I want to create TABS on thescreen using a resource file (DLL or RC)

Creating a tab from resources

REDEFINE TABS [<oTabs>] ;

[ ID <nId> ] ;

[ OF | WINDOW | DIALOG <oWnd> ] ;

[ PROMPT | PROMPTS | ITEMS <cPrompt,...> ] ;

[ ACTION | EXECUTE <uAction> ] ;

[ COLOR | COLORS <nClrFore> [,<nClrBack>] ] ;

[ OPTION <nOption> ]

Does that make it clearer?

Have a look at phone.prg sample.

EMG

compiles, but doesn't run - cannot initialize modem
( forced the initialise function to return .t. so that it could work)

I see the REDEFINE TAB COMMAND in the source code, but I can't see what it refers to when I open the RC file with Pelles C

When the app runs, I can't see the Name, phone address section at the bottom of the screen that I can see from Pelles C

What I need to know is - am I supposed to be able to see the TAB Pages in Pelles C (I see it reads as a custom control not a tab control in properties) and can I change it from Pelles C, or must the rest be done in source code. Can I visually design the tab pages or not?

Look at insptest.prg in sample directory.

You cannot visually design folders or tabs in those resource editors.

I prefer folders if there are multiple dialog screens to manipulate.
