Description schnuckyschuster 2007-11-28 11:09:06 UTC 
Abstract
========
Form controlls have tool tip functionality. 
Hyperlinks have tool tip functionality (The tool tip text is the URL or file).
Please implement a general tool tip functionality for text and if possible, all
visible controlls.

Use case
========
With this functionality users could stick comments, Todo text information or
status information to a specific text region or controll.

Requirements
============
- Take the hyperlink functionality as of chapter 8.3.2 Formatting, table
Hyperlink Properties
- Rename the properties acordingly
- Make following modifications to the functionality:
   + If no mouse events are set, the tool tip text pops up on OnMouseOver and
closes on OnMouseOut
   + If mouse events are set, the tool tip text does not popup, but the
connected macros are executed
   + The methods that execute the mouse events get the TextRange or Controll
refference that triggered the event

- Convert the hyperlink functionality into a specific inplementation of the
generic tooltip functionality

jsc -> cd: as discussed to you. I think it's not only an enhancement but more a
feature. And of course it would be a lot of work. I am not sure if it would be
worse the effort.

cd: Accepted. Could be an interesting way to support developers.
