Pop-Up the content of lines

[francof]

Hi all,
I don't know if it's possible but I try to ask.

I've a scrolling field containing in each line a long string of text. the end part of strings are hidden, due to the width of the field (obviously I've used the H scrollbar to show all the text).
but would be possible to put in a label the content of a line, only the mouse is over it, without click on the line? (something like the Hover Icon of a button)

ciao

Ciao Franco,
You can use mouseline() to get the num of line which is under the cursor

Code: Select all

on mousemove
   put  mouseline()
end mousemove

bonjour Jean-Marc,

thanks for your help. I tried this code into the script of the field I want to monitor "fldDoc":

Code: Select all

on mousemove
   put text of the mouseLine into fld "fldTesto"
end mousemove

it works, but sometime, I don't know why and when I got this error:

field "fldDoc": execution error at line 36 (Chunk: no target found), char 13

the target is the field and the code should be runs only when the mouse is over it....

It's caused by the scrollbar. The mouseline returns empty...

To solve the problem :

Code: Select all

on mousemove
   put the mouseline  into tVAR
   if tVAR is not empty then put  text of the mouseline into fld "fldTesto"
end mousemove
