set help text

[#1]

hi,

i need to set the help text of a text object using macro .

thanks in advance:)

[Frank_Hartmann]

why not using a variable in the help text?

Then you can set the content of the variable per macro!

like this:

Function setVariable

set v=ActiveDocument.Variables("nameofyourQVVariable")

       v.Forcecontent "1",1

END function     

hope this helps

Hi Nishit,

@Frank Hartmann has right.

the best Option is, to use a variable, with variable yor are best prepared to Change of text content.

here is a macro, which sets the helptext of a textbox:

Sub setHelptext

set g = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TX01")

set gp = g.GetProperties

gp.Layout.Frame.HelpText.v = "FillInYourHelptextHere"

g.SetProperties gp

end Sub

hope this helps!
