TipObj Property

Applies To

Description

The TipObj property is a character vector or ref that specifies the name of, or ref to, a TipField object in which the "help" message defined by the Tip property is to be displayed. This message is displayed when the user positions the mouse pointer over the object.

Note that if TipObj is empty, its value is inherited from its parent. Thus setting TipObj on a Form defines the default TipField (and thus the default appearance of all Tips) for all the controls in that Form. Setting TipObj on Root defines the default TipField for the entire application.
