CellHelptag covers cell

General

Hi,

when I use Listbox.cellhelptag() the help tag covers up the cell.
It would be much more useful if it was attached next the cursor or
if it was possible to give the help text a small offset so the text in the field remains visible at all times.
Any way to make that happen?

thanks

AFAIK, to make something like that happen, you will need to “roll your own” help tag screen. It will take a bit more coding, but will give you control over where the tag appears.

Please don’t roll your own version, just pop a Tooltip at the desired location instead.

Remember that for now there is a bug on Mac. (Xojo 2017 R 3) that requires you to negate the Y parameter to get it to work. The examples in the documentation currently do not work for this reason.
