The Balloon Help Wizard creates InTouch objects that have pop-up help balloons. When the user passes his mouse pointer over one of these buttons, a help balloon
pops up to tell him more about the button, such as what is going to happen if they click on the button.
MOUSE_XY.EXE
The program Mouse_XY.exe is one of the hidden bonuses in the Silent Partner Wizard
Library - this program is part of what makes the Balloon Help wizard works because it detects the location of the mouse pointer and constantly feeds the X,Y coordinates of
the mouse pointer into 2 pre-defined InTouch tags. The balloon help will not function in WindowViewer unless you run either MOUSE_XY.EXE. Add the following line to your
"On Startup" application script in InTouch.
Wizard Settings
Double clicking on the wizard brings up the dialog shown here for setting the Balloon Help options
Balloon Help Options
Balloon Text
Enter the text that you want to appear in the balloon when it appears.
Button Text
Enter the text to display on the button
Button Height
Sets the height of the button in pixels. This feature is useful if you want to hide the button behind another using the invisible button
option so that when the user rolls their mouse over the object, the balloon appears. Use this feature to help make the button as big as the object that sits on top of the button.
Adding Scripts
If you would like the button to run an action script when it is clicked on, then click on the "Edit..." button in the wizard dialog
box and enter a script.
