How do I acquire info from Contect help?

[Ahmadnahas]

Hi all.

I am creating a user-interface where I want to display the desciption of of any item when the mouse cursor is on the actual control item... something similar to the Context Help Window..... Would I be able to acquire what info is in the context help window to output somewhere else ?

You could use the Desc and TipStrip properties of the control that you mouse is pointing too.

Here I have used an event structure with the Mouse Enter event to trigger a read of the properties.

Does that help?
