Some questions on GA_HintInfo

Post by tbreeden »

I've been trying out GAHintInfo on some program gadgets and it is very nice.

One thing I've seen is that sometimes the hint text background is yellow (as I expected), and other times it will be grey. Any idea what I might have done or not done? The background seems to stay the same color for all gadgets for any one program run.

Other question: for multiple Reaction windows, do I want to try out Intuition HELPGROUP handling or better to stick with just using WINDOW_GadgetHelp individually for each window? It seems that the HELPGROUP has the nice advantage of having the hint appear when the mouse is over a gadget even if the window in which the gadget is not the active one in the group. However, I suspect it may not play well with Reaction.

Thanks,

Tom
