Adding a "tool tip" comment to a button
I have buttons which access macros in my spreadsheet (xl2003).
Is there a way to add a comment (like a tool tip) so that it is highlighted as the mouse passes over the button. I want to add guidance notes as to the use of the buttons. Can anyone help? Thanks, Roger |

Adding a "tool tip" comment to a button
When designing your UserForm, click the button you want. In the Properties
Window (press F4 if not displayed), go to Control Tip Text. Type in the text you want. I just learned that a month ago, and I use it whenever I can.

What type of button is it, forms or Control toolbox?

Adding a "tool tip" comment to a button
I just -re-read the original post, and I didn't realize that your button was
on the spreadsheet. If it is a Control Toolbox, then what I said should work. I don't know if the same will hold true if you used the Forms button.

Adding a "tool tip" comment to a button
Hi,
Yes its a floating button on the spreadsheet. Can these have a tolltip added to them? Thanks for the advice regarding buttons on forms - ive added tool tips for the buttons on those forms.

Floating? Do you mean a commandbar button? If so, just add to the
ToolTipText property. -- __________________________________ HTH Bob "Roger on Excel" wrote in message ... Hi, Yes its a floating button on the spreadsheet. Can these have a tolltip added to them?

Adding a "tool tip" comment to a button
Hi Bob,
The button is one that sits in the spreadsheet. I placed it using the Forms Toolbar, using the "button" button. I assigned the macro to the button. I dont think the button has a properties window. What do you think? Roger "Bob Phillips" wrote: Floating? Do you mean a commandbar button? If so, just add to the ToolTipText property. |
