Is there a way to display a help message on a button without it comming in focus or active?
 
Right-click on the button, go to Properties and enter message in the ControlTip Help.

I think this is what you actually wanted to do.
 
That works great, but when I do that I also get a grayed out menu box. Any ideas how to turn the menu box off?
 
This should not happen just because you add the ControlTip text to it.

Make sure the "Enabled" option of the "Other" tab is set to YES.
 
I think I got it. Thanks for your help.
