Hello,

When I develop production scripts I strongly rely on the GUI component tooltips to provide information to the users.

When a tooltip is displayed for a too long time (a few seconds) it deseappears. This is a normal behavior, and if you want to read it again, you just have to go on the component again.

The problem I have is that the tooltip never appears again :S The only way to get it again for the user is to launch the script again.
This appends only for the script GUIs, not in the main 3dsMax GUI.

Do you know a way to may them appear again? Is there a reset function or a setting somewhere? Is this a bug?

Can someone please confirm the bug, so that it can be repported?
Thank you very much.

I tried to go around the problem by forcing the content of the component tooltip with itself in my UpdateGUI function thanks to the following code and it worked, but it is not very clean :S

for comp in myRollout.controls do
if isProperty comp “tooltip” do
comp.tooltip = comp.tooltip

Thanks for any help,

Best,

WerwacK
