DickG 1 Posted October 22, 2012 I wanted a way to prevent a tooltip from timing out. When it times out, I can't get it back unless I restart the app. I was not able to find anything in this forum that worked the way I liked, so I came up with this. Maybe someone can use it.

AutoBert 197 Posted October 22, 2012 There is a bug in your skript.

DickG 1 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) There is a bug in your skript. When minimizing it crashs with error: Minimizing? Why would you minimize this? This is just a tiny script to show how the balloon tip works. It's not meant to be "robust" (like minimizing). It looks like the problem is pointing to the $ID[4] var. It's declared up front, so I don't know what the problem would be on your end. It comes from a standard command ( GUIGetCursorInfo). But why would you minimize this demo script?
