Clear ToolTip Screen

[anixon]

I am trying to use Tooltips to pop a help screen which does not clear after the sleep statement. The following is the code which does not work

CODE

test()

Func test()

while 1

$name = InputBox("", "Enter the detail ", "", "")

If $name = "H" then

tooltip("message I want to deliver", 500, 500, "This is the message")

sleep(1000)

ElseIf $name = "M" Then

menu()

Else

;It does something

endif

WEnd

EndFunc

Func menu()

while 1

$menuitem = InputBox("", "Enter the task routine:", "", "")

if $menuitem = 1 Then

test()

EndIf

WEnd

EndFunc

Any help would be appreciated thanks Ant....

I would recommend looking at "SplashTextOn()"

Or maybe even "TrayTip()"

Yeah, that gives it more of a professional look. But, to originally solve your problem, simply add

ToolTip("")

after your sleep.

Thanks Kurt your help with tooltip("") works just fine. Sometimes the obvious is a little difficult to see or examples hard to find.

I did try tooltip() which of course does not work. I never thought of using "" within the ( ).

For other responders Msgbox and SplashTextOn of course both work well however the style of tooltips best suits my purpose.

Thanks for the help Ant....
