Is it possible to add an info box to items in PrimalForms

[daviesg6]

I would like to add an info box, the kind of thing you see on a web page when you hover over a link or an image, to buttons and/or text boxes in a primalforms form. Is it possible to do so and if so where do I go to add it I have looked and can see a possible option but I'm not sure

Thanks

Looks like you want to use a ToolTip control:

thanks, that looks like what I need.
However, I used this as per the instructions and, though it works, I get errors.
I tested with just 1 tooltip, the error I get is

PowerShell Code

Double-click the code block to select all.

The property 'ToolTip' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.
At line:386 char:1
+ $SearchRightsButton.ToolTip = "List Permissions set on OU on screen"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertyAssignmentException

The tooltip is called tooltip1, and it does actually display but obviously getting errors in the powershell window is not a good result.
Any idea what I've done wrong? As I say, I followed the instructions on the page you provided the link to

I solved it.

Adding the ToolTip creates a line of code in the middle of the block that defines the button, see below second line below

PowerShell Code

Double-click the code block to select all.

$SearchRightsButton.TabIndex = 16
$SearchRightsButton.ToolTip = "Test message"
$SearchRightsButton.UseVisualStyleBackColor = $False

If this is left there it generates the error I posted earlier. Comment this out or delete it and the error goes away, but as long as the additional line at the bottom of the page you sent the link to and you get a tooltip that appears with no errors.

Thank you for reporting the bug. This only affects PrimalForm CE.

Workaround:

Use the toolTip's SetToolTip function in your script instead of using the designer to set this value.

PowerShell Code

Double-click the code block to select all.

$toolTip1.SetToolTip($button1, "This is a button")

thanks David. I am using the CE version and using the function does get around this bug as you advise.
