***************************************** DEMO KSD_TTip.DLL DEMO ***************************************** (c) by Koerting Software Development, 1996 Feb., 27 1996 ********** New Version for win3.11 and win95 **************** This Tooltip is useable for every software which can call .DLL's. For Example MSAccess, MSVisualBasic 3.0 and 4.0 16bit, Delphi, VisualdBase, dBase, Paradox,etc.... You can combinate the procedure command with every event in your application - e.g. Button1_OnMouseMove (typical event), OnMouseDown, OnChange, and so on. Depending on the used software you have to make a KILLTIP call for hiding the TTip when the mouse moves over the background of your application. With programs like Visual Basic, Delphi, etc. you don't have to do this. The reason is how the software manage its handles. After copy the KSD_TTIP.DLL in your windows\system directory and declaring the KSD_TTIP.DLL -see your software manual how to declare .DLL's on your software- FOR OUR DEMO YOU ONLY HAVE TO COPY THE KSD_TTIP.DLL IN THE WINDOWS\SYSTEM DIRECTORY ! you can use the following procedures: CallTip (ByVal TipIs As String) This is the typical call for a delayed Tooltip SpeedTip (ByVal TipIs As String) This calls a immediate Tooltip TipColor (ByVal Color As String) This calls for ONE TIME another Color ( See the Color Constants below !!! ) LockColor (ByVal Value As String) - "True" or "False" This procedure lock the color until you call TipColor *******NEW Style95 (ByVal Value As String) - "True" or "False" This procedure gives the Win95 3D-style and the TTip hiding after 5 sec. KillTip() This hides the TTip in some situation. In some programs it is a must (e.g. MSAccess) COLOR CONSTANTS Yellow95 (the win95 default yellow) Maroon Green Olive Navy Purple Teal Gray Silver Red Lime Blue Fuchsia Aqua White *************************** NOTE ************************** This Version is a Demo. Every 7th call the TTip text is "TTip Demo Version". And you have to send a KillTip call ( or move the mouse to the background ). Please test this version for your applications and give me some comments. If enough people show interest in this tool i will give the possibility to register you at SWREG in compuserve. Feel free to give this TTIPDEMO.ZIP to your friends or elsewhere. Waiting for comments and questions James T. Koerting (c) Koerting Software Development compuserve 101323,3461
