Custom ToolTip

[Timppa]

Hello! Again a problem encountered 

There's a ToolTip command and I am using it in my script that has over 2500 lines of text. I have like 100+ ToolTip functions so I can check debug easily. However, I made function like this:

Func ToolTipCustom($ToolTipText, $ToolX, $ToolY)
   If $Debug = 1 Then
      ToolTip($ToolTipText,$ToolX, $ToolY)
      Sleep($ToolTipSleep)
 ;Has been set to 1000
   EndIf
EndFunc

This function will pop up the tooltip ONLY if $Debug is 1 so if there's a function i'd use it like this:

Func Example()
    ToolTipCustom("We are in Function Example()")
    Send("Hello Example!")
    Sleep(2000)
    Exit
EndFunc

INSTEAD of this:

Func Example()
    If $Debug = 1 Then
        ToolTip("We are in Function Example()")
        Sleep(1000)
    EndIf
    Send("Hello Example!")
    Sleep(2000)
    Exit
EndFunc

So it would be so much easier to add custom tooltip than 3 additional lines per tooltip.

And now to the problem: I get this error (Incorrect number of parameters in function call)  if I use the ToolTipCustom like this > ToolTipCustom("This is a custom tooltip, 35, 400")

So I cannot enter X and Y, because some tooltips has X and Y and some doesn't (they appear under mouse). So how is this done?

I added $ToolX and $ToolY after the $ToolTipText in Func ToolTipCustom but now it does not work with the tooltips where I haven't defined X and Y...

Other solution is to add $MouseX and $MouseY after the tooltips that has no X and Y defined already, but it'd be annoying to find each tooltip.

 

So what I need is a function that can be used WITH or WITHOUT x and y, if there's like ToolTipCustom("Hi",30,60") it will then pop up tooltip to the 30,60 postion, if it's only ToolTipCustom("Hi") then it will pop up under my mouse.

Oh well and also, it'd be cool if i could ADDITIONALLY add $ToolTipSleep after the X and Y so it would be look like this:

ToolTipCustom("Hi",30,60,1000) ;<- 1 second Sleep

Sorry for very long explanation for simple thing, but I don't want any misunderstandings.

Thanks in advance!

Timppa,

Use default values for the function parameters like this:

$bDebug = False

ToolTipCustom("Will not show")

$bDebug = True

ToolTipCustom("Under the mouse")

ToolTipCustom("At 100, 100", 100, 100)

ToolTipCustom("Under the mouse for 5 secs", Default, Default, 5000)


Func ToolTipCustom($sToolTipText, $iToolX = Default, $iToolY = Default, $iToolTipSleep = 1000)
    If $bDebug = True Then
        ToolTip($sToolTipText, $iToolX, $iToolY)
        Sleep($iToolTipSleep)
    EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>ToolTipCustom
