Is it possible to change FONT and COLOR for the TIPBLOCK message?
TOOLTIPCOLOR and TOOLTIPFONT seem to have no influence.

Use DCGETOPTIONS as example:
DCGETOPTIONS ;
TOOLTIPFONT '16.Courier Bold' ;
TOOLTIPCOLOR GRA_CLR_BLACK, GRA_CLR_YELLOW

This does not work for the datatooltips (browse columns).

Yes Tom that is the problem, it does not work in browse.
It is curious in version 1.8 it worked (for colors only).

If you will run the Data ToolTips sample in Sample Group 5 of XDEMO.EXE, it follows the settings of
TOOLTIPCOLOR and TOOLTIPFONT.
Please give me a sample that does not work for you.

Hi Roger,
I have looked into Xsample_152 of XSAMPLE5.PRG (dated 18.08.2008) and I'm confused.
- by DCGETOPTIONS is defined TOOLTIPCOLOR with GRA_CLR_BLACK, GRA_CLR_CYAN,
but the Tooltip is displayed as black on yellow!
That is my problem.
The display is in a very small FONT!(may be caused by the Sreen resulution of 1920x1230)
and I cannot change it.
Further on
- by DCBROWSECOL FIELD COLLECT->descrip ..... TOOLTIP 'Description' is defined as fixed text.
Displayed as Tooltip is the content of COLLECT->descrip
- same for the Memo field.
Best regards
Dieter

I have modifed the sample to use a larger font with the DCGETOPTIONS TOOLTIPFONT <font> clause.
My sample shows the tooltip as black on cyan, however there is a brief flash where it is black on yellow.
This is some new behavior (I think) due to Windows 7, but I'm not sure.

Hi,
Using the balloontip as tooltip is on my wishlist.

The effect occured under Windows 8, not as a flash but as permanent color black on yellow.

Sorry for taking so long on this.
I just returned from 2 weeks away at a Navy reunion.
