Pierre,

Let's modify the code included in my previous post under this thread.
Rather than deleting the SCL lists in the model SCL's dfterm section, delete
them in the dfinit section.  No need to keep them around until the
formviewer closes.

* Model SCL;
dcl list __details={} __columns={};
dcl object __id;
dcl num __i __rc;

dfinit:
_viewer_.modelID._getDisplayedColumns(__columns);
do __i=1 to listlen(__columns);
   _viewer_._getComponentID(getitemc(__columns,__i),__id);
   __id.toolTipText=getitemc(__columns,__i);
end;
__rc=dellist(__details);
__rc=dellist(__columns);
return;

Subject: Form Viewer and ToolTipText attribute


Hey SAS-L Gang,

    I am trying to dynamically change the tooltiptext attribute of a
variable (text entry filed) in my form viewer.  I would like the tooltiptext
to be defined based on the value of the variable in question.  (i.e. on
mouse over, a value of 1 would display "weekly", while a value of 2 would
display "monthly")  I am using a table-lookup technique to get the value for
the tooltiptext but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the
tooltiptext attribute from within the model SCL.  I can change the
background color of the text entry field by using the following code.

  IF variable1 = 1 THEN
     CALL SEND(_viewer_,'_setViewerAttribute','variable1','bcolor','gray');

However the tooltiptext is not a viewer attribute.  Am I missing something?


Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Pierre Felx
