Is it possible to create a popup window? So when clicking a control like a button, I would like a window to popup up on which I want to place 4 text fields. In Filemaker I had something like this: [Screenshot 2022-11-03 at 14.32.06]

Most controls have a tooltip property. The tooltip would probably do what you are looking for if it is display only (with a bit of work to separate the four different “fields”). If the fields are interactive, you will likely need to design something, perhaps with a dialog triggered by one of the tar…

You can check the Xojo feedback Issues for cases where people have asked for Popo…

Thanks all, as it doesn’t work natively in Xojo I think it’s better to change my approach. I wanted to create the same layout as I did in Filemaker for my current app, but I will change this to a button that will show a normal window instead. Thanks.

That’s the approach I took in one of my apps except that instead id having a button bring up the window I set a short single mode timer on the MouseEnter to wait a second or so to show the window. I turn the timer off when the window shows or on the MouseExit event for the control fires. works like …
