without any added note that this type of help is actually deprecated and that the programmer should use help tips instead.SPEEDBAR_Window (struct Window *)
This window's titlebar will change to the selected button's help text while the button remains selected.

Speedbar autodoc: SPEEDBAR_Window tag
I've noticed that the current Speedbar Gadget autodoc describes the SPEEDBAR_Window tag

Re: Speedbar autodoc: SPEEDBAR_Window tag
I'm not sure it IS deprecated. As far as I know, the titlebar help still works as well as the helphints...

It sure may work but is this what we want? Is the window title bar the place for showing help at all? Most importantly: should Intuition support two completely different kinds of gadget help, or should it instead enforce consistency?the titlebar help still works as well as the helphints...

Re: Speedbar autodoc: SPEEDBAR_Window tag
So this topic really should be that the SPEEDBAR_Window attribute should be deprecated, rather than the fact it isn't at the moment?
While I agree with your sentiments, it is a decision for management really.

Perhaps. I really thought that with the arrival of proper help tips this horrible, typical-Chris-Aldi-kludge was deprecated already, and that the autodoc only fails to mention this.So this topic really should be that the SPEEDBAR_Window attribute should be deprecated
So dear management: I'm really, really sentimental about the fact that one gadget uses a help system no other gadget uses. Please do something about it, or else I'll cry you a riverWhile I agree with your sentiments, it is a decision for management really.

Sod it!
I've added extra information to the SPEEDBAR_Window attribute to explain it is deprecated. The autodoc will be available with the next SDK update.

Re: Speedbar autodoc: SPEEDBAR_Window tag
Ignoring the fact that HelpHints don't work properly with speedbars (see http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz ... =26&t=1515), unless that was fixed whilst I wasn't looking?trixie wrote:this type of help is actually deprecated and that the programmer should use help tips instead.
Re: Speedbar autodoc: SPEEDBAR_Window tag
Seeing as the topic you link to is reporting a general helphint problem where an inactive window doesn't produce help bubbles, I fail to see how these issues are linked.
