Getting more than one button to with within a GUI

[PeterAtkin 0]

I have a bit of an issue, I am trying to get a email or web link to working with a GUI, this is not normally an issues as in past times I would not have used a menu system generated from a text file but now I'm needing this flexibility more and more.

how can I get [Global $contact] to be active while th rest of the script is running..

how can I get hints to work, e.g. when my cursor wanders over the list items to display the hints.

The bases of the below script was done by someone else, unfortunately I have forgot who.. which is why I'm having an issue, its a really neat solution but seems to preclude allot..

PeterAtkin,

Gary Frost produced an excellent UDF to get hyperlinks into GUI - you can find it here (it is also mentioned in the FAQ, by the way ).

To get control tooltips to work, you need to use GUICtrlSetTip after creating the control.

I hope that allows you to progress.

Thanks for the info,

looks like i will have to rewrite the function as it seems that the GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem() just does not have this ability to show hints as far as I can tell.

OK solved the e-mail / link issue just took me a while to get used to the GUI logic.. however the hints are still an issue just seems no neat way for me at add hints within the GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem() anyone any ideas..
