Ribbon screentip issue 1

[hermanlaksko]

When showing the screentip of the selected button I see a ref to the current open form and a small text "Press F1 for added help" can one get rid of this disturbing mesage that has nothing to do with the program/base as such.

I don't see anything on my screen tips other than what I had set. I suppose you can't provide a screen shot. I tried but the tip goes away every time I press any key.

You can always use your mobile phone (cell phone) to capture what you see on the screen

Yes Andy, my thourghts exatly

As you can see there is a ref. to the "hidden" form MrHide and a short text "Press F1...."
How does one get rid of the ref. and the hlp text?

Have you tried Windows' snipping tool (rather than PrtScrn)?

Windows snipping tool is the same behavior with the tool tip disappearing

Works fine here ...

But to do it you need to use the tool in timed mode (whether using the slightly older snipping tool, or the newer snip & sketch)

Hi Strongm
Long time

The problem is not taking a screen dump, that bit is easy, the problem is that (as shown on my pic, above) the ref. to the form MrHide and the text "Press F1 to..." is there, for the end user, this information is useless so the question is, how to get rid of those two.

The problem seem only to be there in my own ribbons and not in the build-in ribbons.
Any idear?

It seems that you have custom ribbon and maybe an add-in installed.

Hi Combo
No there is not add-in the ribbon is created from scrach in VBA/XML directly in a module.

Is it for a specific database or all?
What happens when you press F1?
Is it something about help in the code?
If you don't run the code, the ribbon is not displayed?

Hi Combo
What happens when F1 is pressed?, well the help screen appairs, but the point is to get rid of the option and text.
If you have any idears on how to remove this please let me know - thank you in advance.

According to Microsoft: "I'm afraid that, by design, this cannot be disabled, nor can the F1 message be changed"

But have a look at File -> Options -> General -> Screentip Style

if it bothers you.

That being said, this should only happen for an addin (I believe), and you say this button isn't being put on the ribbon by an addin. Presumably it is being created by a variant of the code I originally provided to you. In that case, have you set the ScreenTip and SuperTip properties for the button?

 

[hermanlaksko]

Thanks Strongm

Yes it does, I would have liked to have the screestips but without the extra information.
So only a ½ solution also I can not get rid of this on enduser pc's.
But atleast I now know why and where
Thanks!
