Help information

K

Kazlou

I'm putting together a form that needs 'Help' information, but not
permanently on the form.
I'd like to do two options depending on the volume of information required.
A pop up window that opens and then closed after it is read - how do I do this
Also is it possible to have text come up when the mouse is hovered over a
particular spot - similar to on the bottom toolbar of the monitor as the
mouse passes over an icon.

Thanks for your help

You can have a small amount of text come up with the property "controltip
Text". This will appear when the mouse is over the control.
Secondly, using the mousemove event on a control, you can have a msg box:

MsgBox "This is a test." & vbcrlf & "a second line and" & vbcrlf & "a third
line...etc." , vbOKOnly, "Help Message"
