With
Tipyou can add a
quickinfo (tooltip) to fields, field groups and pushbuttons. When the user
points the cursor at the field name, the tip appears in a small yellow box.
With field groups, a special icon is displayed at the upper right hand
corner of the group box. Hovering the cursor over the icon will display the
quickinfo. The tooltip can be multiline; to achieve this, start new lines
with "\n".
Examples
GuiXT
Set V[tip1] "First name, e.g. Charles or Robert\n"
Set V[tip2] "Generic search e.g. Ro* is also possible"
Tip [First name] "&V[tip1]&V[tip2]"
Tip [Contract] "Display contract data and price agreements"
Format
Tip
[Screen element]"Quickinfo"
Screen elements can be single
fields, field groups and pushbuttons. With fields a small icon is on display
to the left of the field name; with field groups the icon is at the upper
right hand corner of the group box.
Tips
& Tricks
A few characteristic input
values help the user more than abstract definitions
You can choose the tip
icon in the file guixt.ini from any of the SAP standard icons. The relevant
profile parameters are:
icon_tip_field
for fields (Default is "icon_tip_field0L")
and icon_tip_box
for field groups (Default is "icon_tip_box35")
A list of all SAP
icons can be found in transaction ICON; the internal short names of
the icons are contained in the ABAP program .
A selection of the
appropriate icon is also possible in GuiXT Script Editor Pro
You can also suppress the field tip icon setting "icon_tip_fieldSpace"
in guixt.ini. However, it is then no longer obvious, at a glance, where
the user can display a quickinfo.
