How to access the text of an option btn before menuPick?

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Why not set the toolTip to the text of the button? I don't know how large a display that would be, or whether that format would be tenable.


You could always use the "mouseWithin" message to display a field, offset a bit from the combo. and display the text of the button. At least you can control the properties of the field.

Hello,

I have an option button with long text lines as options, but the
button
itself is smaller (width) as the text lines (because of
layout
restrictions), so that you can't read the full text of the
options.

Now I would like to find any solution to show the user the full
content of
the text lines before he clicks any choice. Either by hovering or
right
click or anything else I would like to put the line into the tooltip
or
anything else. By now I failed to grab the hilitedLine of the option
menu.

Any idea how to access the text by hovering or right
click?

Thanks

Tiemo
