disabling control tip text conditionally

[Ted]

using a2k, i occasionally enable/disable command buttons....either way,
hovering over the thing results in the control tip text's appearing. so is
there something i can to to get it to turn itself off when the command
button's not in the enabled mode?

Hi Ted,

You should be able to set the control tip programmatically. Here is a quick
example, where I added a command button and a check box to a form:

Private Sub Check1_AfterUpdate()

Me.cmdTest.Enabled = Me.Check1

If Me.cmdTest.Enabled = False Then
Me.cmdTest.ControlTipText = ""
Else
Me.cmdTest.ControlTipText = "My Tip"
End If

End Sub

thanks tom, i'd be surprised that didn't answer my question.

i bet it's safe to say i want to remove the text from the property window of
the command button?

No need to remove this. However, I would set the Allowed Views to Design
View Only, so that your users will never have a property sheet displayed when
viewing a form in normal mode.

no worries tom, i already locked it down tightly (switchboard and no access
to other than the menu/tool bars i let 'em have) ;-)
