Tooltip

I have some ActiveX buttons which add/remove lines to a line chart, what I'd like is a tooltip to appear when the user hovers over each button giving them a more detailed definition.

HELP!

RE: Tooltip

Hi Mark

Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately the ActiveX controls don't have an associated property for accessing the ToolTip or ControlTip.

You'll have to be a little more creative, using in-cell comments or other shapes. Here are a couple of links exploring these options:

I hope you find a solution that works for you.

Kind regards

RE: Tooltip

Thanks Gary - I've managed to find a work around by recording a macro of me selecting a cell behind the command button and then doing an input message via Data Validation and then assigning it to the commandbutton_mousemove
