onMouseOver naming :P

[Visvalor]

Looking through the FG tutorial stuff and looking through the coding of the random rulesets I have access too and I can't seem to figure out how to name a numberfield/control with an onMouseOver style event like you have in the buttons at the top right

Looking through the code I see basedesktop.lua and it lists the name for the onMouseOver event , for example

DesktopManager.registerStackShortcut("button_pointer", "button_pointer_down", "Colors", "pointerselection");


"Colors" is the text displayed... how does one attach an onMouseOver "text" to a generic control or any other object?

You mean a tooltip? That's the generic term for the text displayed on mouse over.

Might help.

Will this work :P?

<script>
function onHover( true )
setTooltipText( Head )
end
</script>

Nope that didn't work :P!

This did!


<script>
function onHover()
setTooltipText("Head");
end
</script>

You could also include the tooltip in the control definition (rather than the onHover script) if you don't need it to change during play:


<numbercontrol name='mycontrol'>
...
<tooltip>
<text>Head</text>
</tooltip>
...
</numbercontrol>
