hotelnorbit 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Just loaded AUTOIT and cannot get the TOOLTIP feature to work. I tried the example for my first script: MsgBox (0, "My First Script", "Hello World") I did not get any tooltip box to pop up. I tried many ways and need help. Thanks so kindly.

Nahuel 1 Posted January 16, 2008 MsgBox() opens a message box... not a tooltip. ToolTip() will show you a tooltip. Does this work for you? ToolTip("Hello World!!!") Sleep(3000) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I type the M key a tool tip box should pop up that lets me select all the M commands ... this does not happen. Also when I type (MsgBox) A tooltip feature should show me all the command paramaters. Thanks for trying to help me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if I have all the executables for auto-it installed properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James 376 Posted January 16, 2008 What version of SciTE do you have? I recommend SciTE4AutoIt3, which is downloadable from the homepage. Hide James's signature Hide all signatures Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bowmore 96 Posted January 16, 2008 Looks like 1.74 is the most recent one.Just checking but have you saved your script with a .AU3 extention? Until you've done this the special AutoIt tools in Scite will not work.

James 376 Posted January 16, 2008 Yeah, unfortunatley SciTE doesn't add the extension automatically. Hide James's signature Hide all signatures Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotelnorbit 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Just checking but have you saved your script with a .AU3 extention? Until you've done this the special AutoIt tools in Scite will not work.It does save as .AU3 extension.I'm trying to re-install the software. I've got no idea why it doesn't work.

hotelnorbit 0 Posted January 16, 2008 YAY!!!! It works now. I did not have administrator privileges. Our IT group gave me admin rights for AUTOIT and then it worked.Thanks for all of your attempts to help.David. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
