Defining Custom Colors
I've made a macro that defines custom colors. What code will permit me to cutomize the ControlTip that is shown to the user when they have their cursor over each color
Let me explain. I am trying the code a macro where I have defined a blue that we internally call "Blue Pastel". I would like the name "Blue Pastel" to be displayed when the user is in the Background or font color menus and they put the cursor or that said color Thanks in advance for your help Daniel |

Defining Custom Colors
Hi Daniel,
There's no way to do this from Excel. The background color of the Excel Comment object is controlled by the Windows tooltip background color setting. If you change this setting (using the Desktop properties Appearance tab, for example) the background color of Excel's cell comments will change. But so will the background color of every other tooltip displayed everywhere else in Windows, so it's not a very good idea to do this. -- Rob Bovey, MCSE, MCSD, Excel MVP Application Professionals http://www.appspro.com/ * Please post all replies to this newsgroup * * I delete all unsolicited e-mail responses * "Daniel P" wrote in message ...

Defining Custom Colors
I think he wants to change the tooltip text to "Blue Pastel", leaving
the tooltip itself pale yellow. I don't know whether this is possible. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services http://PeltierTech.com/Excel/Charts/ _______ Rob Bovey wrote: Hi Daniel, There's no way to do this from Excel.
