How do I implement mouseovers?

[mark232]

Newbie Question:
I would like to update a textbox control by simple mouseovering another control -- say for the sake of this example, a LED control. Is there way to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Mark,

You can create mouseover events in LabWindows/CVI using the tooltip function panel. There is a Knowledge Base that describes this feature and also includes an example program.

See Can I use Tool Tips in LabWindows/CVI?

Note that this Tool Tips function panel is only available in LabWindows/CVI version 6.0.

Mark,

Actually, the Tool Tips function panel is available in versions 5.5.1 of LabWindows/CVI and higher. Sorry about not being accurate at the start.

Thanks,
