Segmented Control Widget

[Terence Heaford]

I can see the advantages of doing it yourself and intend trying both methods as suggested by yourself and Jaqueline.

I have noted when trying some of the widgets that they do seem to be rather incomplete.

All the best

I did however, with a bit of clever scripting, develop a tabbed object group that works as well or better that the built in tabbed button. And for a bonus, it looks in Windows the same as it loos on the Mac. Really, the Windows UI is really horrible for LC. I just gotta say. It puts the Ugh in Ughly.

Calculate the rectangles (or at least the left and right edges) of each segment and in a mouseEnter handler compare the mouseLoc to the rectangles to see which one it's in. Then set the tooltip to the appropriate string. You can also add a mouseMove handler to do the same thing if you want to change tooltips as the mouseLoc changes inside the widget.
