giving help to user when filling a form

[olivier]

Hi,

I'm searching the best way to help an user when he is filling a form, that's
to say displaying information about the available choices in a drop list box.
As an example, the drop list is filled with

choice 1
choice 2
....

and when "choice 1" is (about to be) selected, I would like to display a
"message 1" like "select choice 1 if you want to...". Choice 1 and message 1
are stored in a secondary xml source. I didn't find a way to display bubles,
so is there another solution ?

Thanks a lot to all.

hi,

You have two choice screentip or custom task pane but in your case I
think that custom task pane is the best way.

Thanks so much. It seems to be just what I need.

Merci beaucoup.

Thanks. That's sad. If I understand that means that the user has to make a
choice in the drop list to see the help about it... after.
