Hi

I think I understand your question differently than the previous post. Are you asking how to pop-up help text when the caption bar is hidden (and so the ? icon can not be displayed)?

Well you have a number of alternatives.

  • show the caption bar
  • do nothing, for some object types, the help text will pop up if you hover the cursor over the object
  • or you can create a button with a ? lable, that controls the display of a text box with the help text in it
  • or other member of the community may have better ideas

To create a pop-up help box, follow these steps:

  • create a variable (eg vShowHelp), set value to 0
  • create a button with a Set variable action and enter =If(isNull(vShowHelp), -1, Not(vShowHelp)) in the value box
  • create the text box and enter the help text as the box contents.
  • set the text box conditional how to =vShowHelp

Now clicking the button will toggle between displaying and hiding the text box.

I usually take that slightly further by having the text box close if you click on it as well (create the same action as the button)

Info

If a piece of external information, such as a text file, a picture or a multimedia presentation is to be connected to a field value, this is done in a table that is loaded through an info prefix. (In some cases it will be preferable to store the information inside the .qvw file, by using the bundle prefix.) The table must contain two columns only, the first one with the field values that will form the keys to the information, the second one containing the file names of the pictures etcetera.

The same applies to, for example, a picture from a database management system. On a binary field, a blob, the info select statement makes an implicit bundle, i.e. the binary data will be fetched immediately and stored in the qvw. The binary data must be the second field in a select statement.

The syntax is:

info ( loadstatement | selectstatement )

Examples:

Info Load * from flagoecd.csv;

Info Select * from infotable;

Info Select Key, Picture From infotable;
